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
