Rail Lean, Salt Wind, Stay Close

by Rue Calloway-Voss

“The ferry leans into the wind and I lean into you. I wanted the guitar to sound like cold salt air.”

Lyrics

The ferry leans into the wind
The water is cold and wide
You hold the rail beside me
I stand right by your side

Your coat is warm on my shoulder
The lights are far away
We do not have to talk
We have nothing to say

Stay close, stay close
The water is dark and the wind is cold
Stay close, stay close
I have you and I will hold
Stay close, stay close

A gull is following the boat
The engine hums below
I watch the shore get nearer
I am not in a hurry to go

Stay close, stay close
The water is dark and the wind is cold
Stay close, stay close
I have you and I will hold
Stay close, stay close

Slow boat, slow boat
Take your time
Slow boat, slow boat
You are mine

Stay close, stay close
The water is dark and the wind is cold
Stay close, stay close
I have you and I will hold
Stay close, stay close

Stay close
Stay close
