[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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"

[Chorus x2]
[Bridge]
Ride on a boat called Merlin
Ride on a boat called Merlin

[Chorus]
