13 Horses Alexander Rybak

13 horses swimming in the sea
Waiting for someone to find them
Their ship is gone
And now they are alone
With water everywhere around them
The men were saved
From the sinking ship
Right before it started to burn
And while they're safe
Their loyal friends need help
Patiently waiting for their turn

13 horses swimming in the sea
They don't even know it's pointless
Their pride remains
But this time it won't help
They used to be so tall
And suddenly they're small
There's a couple waiting far behind
Soon they will be out of sight
But then who cares -
They're dying anyway
All of them are doomed this night

11 horses swimming in the sea
The sea they thought was just a river
They're used to this
It's probably just a race
That helps to ease their minds
But where's the finish line
The night grows dark
The body wants to rest
It hurts to breathe
And still they do their best
They want to live
No matter for how long
Their thoughts all disappeared
'Cause now they're really scared
