WALK TO THE WATER
U2
She
said it wasn't cold, she left her coat at home that day
She
wore white canvas shoes, white canvas shoes,
Around
her neck she wore a silver necklace,
It
was given to me by my father she says, it was given to me,
She
took the back way home, past the lights at Summer Hill
Turned
left onto the north strand, and on out towards the city,
He
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 him,
I
saw you that day, your lips were cherry red,
Your
legs were crossed (what a shame!), your arms wide open
Your
hair was coloured gold, not unlike 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......
A
room in a wild(?) hotel, 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................
