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 It was given to me She took the back way home Passed the lights and the Summerhill Turned left onto the North Strand And on, and towards the sea He said he was an artist But he really painted billboards In large capital letters Large capital letters He was telling jokes Nobody else would listen to him I saw you that day Your lips were cherry red Your legs were crossed Your arms wide open Your hair was colored gold 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 a while Walk, walk, walk to the roadside Walk me in the light A room in the Royal Hotel 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 again
