Wintercoat Lyrics - Singles - Paul Kelly And The Messengers

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
