Lyrics

I stayed the night in your arms
Over half an hour I stayed awake
Looking at you

Your face seemed radiant.
The wall was to steep
With a crack in the moment
As I held you.

While na-na ne-ne-na ne-na-na Davy dozed.
I closed my eyes.
Realised 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.

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.

While na-na na-na na-na-na Davy dozed.
I closed my eyes.
Realised the time is close for us to go.
Hold, please hold me.

Davy, Davy,
Bending like a willow-branch.
He rocks me like a baby.
Oo-ooh…
