Winter Coat

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
