 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...
 To hear my serenade reckoning her near
 Reckoning her near
 And then she's gonna swill
 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

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
