He came round on a Tuesday
Knocked twice on the door
Come in wipe your feet on the floor
She said who are you
He said it's me
Oh you better come in
and I'll make you a cup of tea
He said a man has died at sea
I've got to ask you some questions
And everybody knows
why you were there
You tied up at the same quay
back in 1963
And everybody knows
why you might lie
Been living on the dark side
the past is but another life
He said we know
you were there that day
Did you ride on a boat
called Merlin
Did you party
on the beach that night
Was anything did
everything feel right
She said I don't appreciate
you here anymore
My husband of those years
has gone before
And everybody knows
why you were there
You tied up at the same quay
back in 1963
And everybody knows
why you might lie
Been living on the dark side
the past is but another life
And everybody knows
why you were there
You tied up at the same quay
back in 1963
And everybody knows
why you might lie
Been living on the dark side
the past is but another life
Ride on a boat called Merlin
Ride on a boat called Merlin
And everybody knows
why you were there
You tied up at the same quay
back in 1963
And everybody knows
why you might lie
Been living on the dark side
the past is but another life
