Wintercoat

Paul Kelly

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Now when it's chilly
Up in these cold, cold hills
I just put on my winter coat, my winter coat
Keeps me warm

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And when it gets freezing
Up in these cold, cold hills
I just put on my winter coat, my winter coat
Keeps me warm

[Outro]
My winter coat, my winter coat
My winter coat, my winter coat
