I'm gonna build a raft and set it on the water there
|
Hoping she will come, see the thing I made
|
What a thing I made
|
|
Today I'm gonna sail even if she doesn't show
|
The ocean can decide, love is like a wave
|
Love would never fail
|
|
Hope she gets here soon
|
I hope she isn't far away
|
But if she is, I'll sail anyway
|
|
Everyday that I love her I kill myself
|
It happens over and over, there's no one else
|
And I try to forget her but look at me
|
Giving everything away for free
|
|
And when I'm out at sea, I'm gonna write a song for her
|
I'll sing across the bay, hoping she will hear
|
Hoping she will hear
|
|
I think she's in her car and just above the motorway
|
To hear my serenade beckoning her near
|
beckoning her near
|
|
And then she's gonna swim
|
I didn't build my raft in vain
|
But if I did, we'll both drown anyway
|
|
'Cause everyday that I love her I kill myself
|
It happens over and over, there's no one else
|
And I try to forget her but look at me
|
Giving everything away for free
|
Giving everything away for free, free
|
|
Drown me, it'll stop the pain, if my love's in vain
|
'Cause I knew, I knew she'd never come
|
'Cause she couldn't bear the ocean
|
She couldn't stand the waves
|
|
So everyday that I love her I kill myself
|
It happens over and over, there's no one else
|
And I try to forget her but look at me
|
Giving everything away for free
|
