Waiting for dawn

I'm sharing these here lyrics.
They're not mine
I think they're great. By a friend of mine.
I'm producing the song. Not writing the lyrics give me more energy to focus more elsewhere.
I'm making steady progress, I think.
This one has to be of elevated quality.

waiting for dawn

she's waiting for dawn
when the dew drops will sit
on every blade of grass
the sky will be lit
with just enough light, to see and not be seen
as she disappears sofly, just like a wakened dream

she clutches her bag
her hands start to shake
as the panic grows
her will starts to break
a few more minutes more, another cup of tea
and she'll leave this sad life, and finally be free

my blood on yours hands
too many times, too many times
you have broken me down
with tears on my face
as you creep nearer, y' breath is loaded
as I make no sound (make no sound)

she stands at the door
taking in the fresh air
she knows deep down
it's the last chance if she'll dare
no more telling lies, no more scared for her life
no more breaks and bruises, no more being his wife

my blood on yours hands
too many times, too many times
you have broken me down
with tears on my face
as I run faster, my heart pounding
as I leave this place (leave this place)

Nice simple lyric on a difficult subject. In my view, it's the simplicity of the message that makes the lyric so powerful. Standing on the threshold, gathering the courage to take the leap. Your friend sums it up perfectly.
