Walk To The Water

She said it wasn't cold

She left her coat at home that day.

She wore canvas shoes, white canvas shoes.

Around her neck she wore a silver necklace.

"It was given to me by my father." she said.

"That was given to me."

She took the back way home

Passed the lights at Summer Hill

Turned left onto the North Strand and on

On towards the sea.

He said he was an artist

But he really painted billboards

In large capital letters.

In large capital letters.

He was telling jokes

Nobody else would listen to him.

I saw you that day, your lips of cherry red

Your legs were crossed, your arms wide open

Your hair was coloured gold

And like a field of corn

You were blown by the wind

You were blown by the wind.

Walk, walk, walk

To the water.

Walk with me awhile.

Walk, walk, walk

To the water.

Walk with me

In the light.

A room in the Royal Hotel

With sea-facing views.

A man with a suitcase

Full of things he doesn't need.

I'm looking through your window

I'm walking through your doorway.

I'm on the outside let me in.

Let me love you

Let me love you

Let me.

Walk, walk, walk

To the water.

Walk with me, yeah.

Walk, walk, walk

To the roadside

Walk with me awhile.
