"Giving Everything Away For Free"
I'm gonna build a raft
And sit 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 will never fail
Hope she gets here soon,
I hope she isn't far away
But if she is ill sail anyway
Every day 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
Ill sing across the bay
Hoping she will hear, hoping she will hear
I think she's in her car
And just above the motorway
So 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 well both drown anyway
Every day 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 when, coz I love in vain
Cos I knew, knew she'd never come
Cos she couldn't bear the ocean
She couldn't stand the waves
Every day 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
