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 coloured 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.
