Lyrics

Daniel

1, 2, 3, go

[Verse]

Lost in light or bound forever

Honey, it seems our love's together

The ropes were worn

And they came undone

When we lost our little boy

We tried so hard to stay together

[Chorus]

Daniel

Daniel

Daniel belongs to the ocean

Daniel

Daniel

Daniel belongs to the ocean

[Verse]

A drop in the ocean, an endless sea

One in a million tragedies

For everyone belongs to one

Like some unopened birthday card

I keep you boxed in my unwanted

Memories

[Chorus]

Daniel

Daniel belongs to the ocean

Daniel

Daniel

Daniel belongs to the ocean

[Bridge]

Could it be instead

You know the water's edge?

You're just a little hill, it's just a little pill

If you take this shit

You might not feel so sick

If you take the pill

You might not feel so ill

Let's make it easy for ya, Bill

(Daniel) If you show us where it hurts

(Daniel) We'll see what we can do

(Daniel) It's just a little trick

(Daniel) To stop you feeling blue

(Daniel) If you take that shit

(Daniel) You might feel so sick

(Daniel) If you take that pill

(Daniel) You might not get so ill

Let's make it easy for ya, Bill
