I wipe the sediment from your hair I taste the laughter on your breath We sink into the murky waters of cobalt blue Do you remember how you asked me If there were lollipop men in heaven You placed this pebble in my palm Do not be wasteful, oh make it last Sail on over here, sail over to me Row row row your boat gently across the sea On this lonely island, I'll share all my toys With all you other lonely little girls and boys Daisy, Daisy, I don’t want to be The loneliest boy in the world I run my hands along your forearms I see the hairs stand to attention I think they look like daddy long legs playing in the breeze Let's set up shop out in the open Under them pale self-conscious clouds I'll write the letters out on Cardboard as a welcome sign to the crowds Sail on over here, sail over to me Row row row your boat gently across the sea On this lonely island, I’ll share all my toys SongtexteUnder this blanket we'll escape from all the noise Daisy, Daisy, I don't want you to to be The loneliest girl in the world You take our treasured piece of plastic Squinting you hold it to the sky Truly believe that stars are portals to the other side And then at night when it gets chilly We'll steal a smile from Mr. Moon Before we cuddle up together like two babies in the safety of the womb Sail on over here, sail over to me Row row row your boat gently across the sea On this lonely island, I'll share all my toys Under this blanket we'll escape from all the noise Daisy, Daisy I don't want you [Daisy, daisy, ] I don't want you [Daisy, daisy, ] I don’t want you to be The loneliest boy in the world When happiness outgrows us If fear and sickness came and chose us Well your mother she disowned us Whispering spare change for the homeless Look up, give me a twirl As the seagulls start to circle You proudly show me your new bruises Where be the bucket and the spade We place my flame under the spoon Whisper that tune As the pink balloon leaves us high as a kite Sail on over here, sail over to me Row row row your boat gently across the sea On this lonely island, I’ll share all my toys With all you other lonely little girls and boys Aus Songtexte Mania
