Didn't We Walk on Water - The Waterboys

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Six in the morning and I’m up with the crows

In Roppongi Hills where everybody knows

On a clear day you can see Mount Fuji from here

If the clouds are high and the ozone’s clear

But me I’m gazing at the mademoiselle

In the billboard across the road from the grand Hotel

She’s standing at her window gazing at the morning sun

And I’m just like her, waiting for my lover to come

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Seven in the evening and she’s running late

But I’m a man in love and I don’t mind the wait

When she comes she’s a symphony in woman form

Sparkling eyes beneath a fringe, and her hands are warm

I got us a table in a European restaurant

Where the pomodoro sauce is exactly how you want

Her English sucks and my Nihongo’s every bit as bad

But we’ve just about more fun than anybody ever had

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Now she’s holding my hand in front of Murukami’s jellyfish

In Shimo-Kitazawa in a funky coffee shop we kissed, and it was bliss

I’ve never known love as sweet and exquisite as this

Two AM in Adachi-ku and it’s love

She’s everything and more than I was even dreaming of

Her wig’s on the stand, and her elegant frame

Surrenders in my arms, as I breathe her name

And the night grows deeper as the love descends

A prayer in my heart we’ll never be apart again

Tokyo, Dublin, it’s but a blink of an eye

Carve it on the sun and paint it all over the sky

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars

Didn’t we walk on water, didn’t we touch the stars
