i find you with red tears in your eyes
i ask you what is your name
you offer no reply
should i call a doctor
because i fear you might be dead
but i just lay down beside you
and held your head

i fell in love with you
now you're my one my only
because all my life i've been so blue
but in that moment you fulfilled me

now i tell all of my friends
i fell in love with a dead boy
now i'll tell my family
i wish you could have met him

now i write letters to australia
now i throw bottles out to sea
i whisper the secret in the ground
no one is gonna take you away from me

i fell in love with a dead boy
oh, such beautiful boy

oh such a beautiful boy
i ask you
are you a boy or a girl
are you a boy or a girl
are you a boy or are you a girl
