[N.B.: I am not even sure that this is the name Kate is uttering in the
song, or even whether it is indeed a name. This title has been bandied
about for years among fans, but no-one had ever reported hearing the
song itself until the emergence of new bootlegged tapes in 1989. It
does now seem clear, however, that the song which I am calling Davy is
quite unrelated to the song known as Maybe, even though the two titles
have sometimes been used to refer to the same song. There is no
lyrical or musical connection between the two songs.]
I stayed the night in your arms.
Over half an hour I stayed awake,
Looking at you.
Your face seemed radiant,
The walls with the steam,
With the crack remembered,
As I held you.
Oo-ooh...
While na-na na-na-na na-na-na Davy dozed.
I closed my eyes
And now the time is close for us to go.
Hold me, oh hold me.
Davy, Davy,
Bending like a willow-branch.
He rocks me like a baby.
Oo-ooh...
I know he loves another lady,
But I still see him in the hallway
Calling me.
Oh, when we danced so closely,
I really felt as though I was melting
In a pool.
Oo-ooh...
While na-na na-na-na na-na-na Davy dozed.
I closed my eyes
And now the time is close for us to go.
Hold me, oh hold me.
Davy, Davy,
Bending like a willow-branch.
He rocks me like a baby.
