|
Can you see who it might be? |
|
Tell old man to ring the bell |
|
Climb the steps up from the sea |
|
Strange and dark and very tall |
|
|
|
Can you see who it might be? |
|
Visitors - they are so few |
|
Head so proud but curls so free |
|
Looks like someone I once knew |
|
|
|
David - of the Viking heart |
|
Glitter of the sea |
|
It couldn't |
|
It wouldn't |
|
It daren't be |
|
|
|
The men they see him up the coast |
|
At the drinking house of Morley Arms |
|
Hails the sea with every toast |
|
and he hails the ladies with his charms |
|
|
|
All the ladies he does love |
|
Each day I saw his bosom swell |
|
He's not like me - I love but one |
|
And I love that one and I know him well |
|
|
|
Ah - but all the love |
|
In the world was not enough |
|
So I couldn't |
|
I wouldn't |
|
I daren't say no |
|
|
|
David - how you made me feel |
|
Every crack in every wall |
|
Climb above the traps of man |
|
Shout above the sirens call |
|
|
|
But now the siren's all you hear |
|
Shamed and dizzy you can't stop |
|
All the things we used to fear |
|
Are you spinning - little top? |
|
|
|
The strangeness of it all |
|
Is you know yourself so well |
|
But you couldn't |
|
You wouldn't |
|
You daren't say no |
|
|
|
Signs of you - they disappeared |
|
Poems and candles - I don't need |
|
Flowers that you brought to me |
|
Fell into a book I never read |
|
|
|
I cut my hair off like a man |
|
Too much trouble and what's more |
|
It was tarnished by your hand |
|
Gone my hair...into a drawer |
|
|
|
I said - should you leave? |
|
and you - you just agreed |
|
so we couldn't |
|
we wouldn't |
|
we daren't say no |
|
|
|
now I have been a woman true |
|
taking all that life does send |
|
I thought I could love just you |
|
but the heart does sway and the body does bend |
|
|
|
tales of you sometimes they come |
|
I smile and nod quite naturally |
|
my thoughts so rarely to you run |
|
I watch the glitter of the sea |
|
|
|
***** |
|
|
|
can you see who it might be? |
|
tell old man to ring the bell |
|
climb the steps up from the sea |
|
I cannot see - I know him well |
|
|
|
David of the Viking heart |
|
glitter of the sea |
|
it couldn't |
|
it wouldn't |
|
it daren't be |
