Maritime Walkway
If the whole world walks by along la Rua de Maritima
maybe one day it will be you strolling in the sunshine
taking a break from the city - not as young as we were,
not reflecting the light of that kind of pretty
though there will be something,
some kind of beautiful touching the salty air
and I will remember the flavour of kissing your neck,
the surreal softness of the skin at your shoulder,
how the gold threads through your hair - may be one day
it will be you flicking through the tacky postcards
or sharing an ice-cream with your lover, not as sweet
as we once were - though there will be something,
some kind of beautiful...
