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 onif you're not buying at all
Then I saw the winter coat hanging on the rack
I thought about that winter coathanging on my back
So you helped me try it on
It was just my size
Then you bought that coat for meafter 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 stillhangs 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
