Nest - Half Waif

Gathering the papers:

Gonna make you a nest

For you, my love

Only the very best

Quiet the machines:

I’m gonna give you a rest

For you, my love

Only the very best

On the boat, you are rocking

I am watching far away

Close my eyes;

when they open

You have fallen in the waves

Grab your wrist, feel the life drain

Right out of your veins

Never mind, I’ll keep pulling

'Til I know that you’re safe

Gathering the ashes

Gonna take whatever’s left

I only know how to love you the best

On the day that you weaken

All your energy will fade

Close your eyes;

when they open

I will offer you a stage

Don’t you cry, I’ll keep watching

'Til I know that you’re safe
