Lyrics

Walking round this riverside town
Where I don’t speak the language
These old stone walls closing in
I could breathe the country air
And all the names and faces there
But I’m staring at the pavement

There she is in the marketplace
Town Square
Mid-day
But I have no idea what to say

Walking round this seaside town
Where I don’t speak the language
What if I’m the eagle that never flies
When she talks, it’s more than words
It’s a song, it’s a dance, it’s a prayer
But my shoes are still untied

There she is on a holiday
Beach side
Late May
But I have no idea what to say

I wanna speak like a native
A native
But I’m from where I’m from

There she is on a holiday
Beach side
Late May
But I have no idea what to say
There she is on a holiday
Beach side
Late May
But I have no idea what to say

Walking round this riverside town
Where I don’t speak the language
What if I’m the eagle that never flies
