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
