Wintercoat Lyrics

Wintercoat lyrics

Paul Kelly (Mushroom)
We were lovers once long ago
Walking through cold
city streets like lovers do
Stopped inside a market
Kissed behind a
stall
Someone said you'd better move on
if you're not buying at
all
Then I saw the winter coat hanging on the rack
I thought about that
winter coat
hanging on my back
So you helped me try it on
It was just
my size
Then you bought that coat for me
after haggling over the
price
Now when it's chilly
Up in these cold cold hills
I just put on
my winter coat
My winter coat
Keeps me warm
Years have come
along
Years have gone
Some friends have risen
Some have moved
on
And my old winter coat still
hangs by my front door
Holding all the
stories
I don't remember anymore
And when it gets freezing
Up in these
cold cold hills
I just put on my winter coat
My winter coat
Keeps me
warm
My winter coat
My winter coat
My winter coat
My winter coat
