Walk to the Water lyrics

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
