Lyrics
Album version
Bound up the stairs, I'm in the shower
Do you know I am going to leave you?
Do you know I am going to leave you?
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love, lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
Tell me about Ray and his girl
Do I know Ray is going to meet you?
Love you, I do, stay here, I won't
As stars fade from your eyes
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love, lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
One, two, make it fun
Make it fun, make it fun
"The Ocean" demo version
Bound up the stairs, I'm in the shower
Do you know I am going to leave you?
Fresh from the shore, blonde hair is wide
The ocean makes me cry
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love, lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
Tell me about Ray and his girl
Did I know Ray is going to meet you?
Love you, I do, stay here, I won't
As stars fade from your eyes
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love, lying in the sand
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
One, two, make it fun
Don't trust anyone
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
I have done everything I can
I'm in love with a dying man
I'm in love with a dying man
