Nest

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
