No, I wasn't fit for the wind that day
So you brought me away from the grey
in your own humble way
down the Ringsend Road today
Salty triggers shoot me back in time
touching hands on another strand in cold sunshine
in the prime of our courtship's climb
prancing on the shore like fools in crime
Your features, a haze in a vision, a dream
The New is what had never been seen
But I admit I'd been there before
in a different love scene
Forget the thoughts you make yourself scrawl
We shared something that will always enthral
Your photographs and dreamy laughs
through my head crawl
But what I loved wasn't you at all
