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
