Nikki Henskens - He Waits (For His Blood to Run Out of His Veins) Lyrics

He waits for his blood to stop running through his veins
The seabirds stand by the window each day
Home sweet home
He perfectly stays withdrawn
It seems as if they excised his heart and his bones
Blue coral reef and sand hide the anchor's gravestone
Home's long gone
Forever stuck on his island
Wooden beams float patiently towards the seashore
I mumble his prayers faster than he'd ever done before
Pearls on the floor
My knees ain't hurting no more
He'd place a lifejacket around my waist
She would stand on the main deck and wave
Sweet and safe
I wish I could've done the same
I wish I could've done the same
I wish I could've done the same
When the captain lowered his sails
