lyrics
The Viking’s Daughter
It was you and I, and the moon on the water
Sailing away beneath a sequined sky
You stood upon the prow, you were the Viking’s daughter
As wild as the waves, as dark as the night
And I was in awe of your primeval beauty
Framed by the moon you were a jewel on a pearl
And I was at war with a primitive notion
My heart was a drum as I steered the course
Chorus
And all I could do was to plead with great Odin
Have pity on this tillerman at war with the notion
That if I was to take you this night on the ocean
I’d surely die by your father’s sword
Your silky tresses danced upon the sea breeze
Golden lashes to whip the fire up in me
Your satin skin was silver in the moonlight
So precious a thing could light any man’s flame
Chorus
And all I could do was to plead with great Odin
Have pity on this tillerman at war with the notion
That if I was to take you this night on the ocean
I’d gladly die by your father’s sword
You had summoned me to sail you out to greet him
Your father returning to these shores
When perchance a humble fisherman in haste came-a-bleatin’
Your father has died by the sword
It was then that you fell into my arms a-wailing
Like a banshee crying take me I’m yours
For I’ve felt your heart’s desire, your lust and your fire
An a man is a fool who lives by the sword
Chorus
And all I could do was to plead with great Odin
Ah me a humble tillerman, I was wrapped in the notion
In our thunder lust and fire out there on the ocean
That great Thor himself had surely climbed aboard

Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River! SantaR
