Walking In Richmond

(words & music Joe Pereira)

Strolling down Cholmondeley Walk
savouring the views
summertime and the river’s fine
with all the season’s hues
drop into The Cross for one
to while away the day
watch the people before the bridge
smile and dance away

Always wanted to be here
when visiting this land
somewhere far from reality
but easy to understand
there’s beauty all around me
a place to please the eye
you know there’s nowhere better
and no one can deny
no one can deny

Walk with me
walk with me
I’ll show there’s no better place to be
walk with me
walk with me
no other place I would rather be

The guitar man is familiar
I’ve seen him here before
entertaining with his songs
I always ask for more
tells his stories as if I know
who he loves to idolise
and I smile ‘cause all’s well with me
in this part of paradise
part of paradise
