Coat Of Mail Lyrics - Wise And Otherwise - Harry Manx

There's an honest man I know in the welfare line 

Lives upstairs at the Yale 

You can call him a good friend of mine 

He was taken down by the man at his door 

Cloak of desperation, got wrapped around his soul 

Sew him a coat of mail 

Make it all alright 

Send him the wind to sail 

Sew him a coat of mail 

I stood below your window, some things I understood 

Out in the world's a struggle, every man needs a plan 

You can listen without words, it''s not everyone can see 

But I recognize your eyes, yeah they once belonged to me 

You walk the streets at sunrise, no matter where you turn 

There's questions without answers, they continue to burn 

It's a fine, fine thread gonna keep you in this place 

Well I see you sound yourself something 

cause it's written on your face
