She said it wasn't cold She left her coat at home She wore canvas shoes Around her neck she wore a silver necklace 'It was given to me by my father' she said 'It was given me' She took the backway home Passed the lights and the summer hill Turned left on to the norths strand And on... and towards the sea He said he was an artist But the 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 Like a field of corn You were blown by the wind Blown by the wind Walk, walk, walk to the water Walk with me a while Walk, walk, walk to the water Walk me in the light A room in the wild town She facing views A man with a suitcase Full of things he doesn't need I'm looking through your window I'm looking 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
