Walk To The Water Lyrics

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 summer hill 
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 wild town 
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
