U2 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 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 Summerhill

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 Royal 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...to the water

Walk with me...yeah

Walk, walk, walk...to the roadside

Walk with me again
