Walk To The Water

She said it wasn't cold she left her coat unbuttoned 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 past the lights at Summerhill Turned left on to the north strand and on out 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 were 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 roadside Walk with me in a light A room in the Royal hotel the 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 Walk walk walk to the roadside Walk with me a while
