Walk to the Water Lyrics

She said, "It wasn't cold"
She left her coat at home that day
She wore canvas shoes
White canvas shoesAround 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
Turn left on to the north strand
And on, on towards the seaHe said he was an artist
But he really painted billboards
In large capital letters
Large capital letters
He was telling jokes
But nobody else would listen to himI saw you that day
Your lips were cherry red
Your legs were crossed
Arms wide openYour hair was colored gold

And like a field of corn
You were blown by the wind
You were blown by the windWalk, walk, walk to the water
Walk, with me awhile
Walk, walk, walk to the roadside
Walk me in a lightA room in the Royal hotel
With 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 meWalk, walk, walk to the water
Walk with me yeah
Walk, walk, walk to the roadside
Walk with me awhile
