aaron west & the roaring twenties - winter coats lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i saw my sister lay in bed
chain-smoking cigarettes
window open, november spilling in
i made a cross over my head
i dipped my fingertips in the calcified green holy water dish

[chorus]
i took pity on your battered soul
and never let you in
i feel like a lost winter coat
in a county church’s bas-m-nt
where i wept
i can’t believe that i’m here again

[verse 2]
waited ’til everybody left
i sat at the organ
and played myself a slow and quiet hymn
and then you sat up from the bench
you scared me half to death
i hadn’t seen you since you were a kid

[chorus]
i took pity on your battered soul
and never let you in
but if you feel like a lost winter coat
in a county church’s bas-m-nt
i get it, i get it

[bridge]
christ, you got tall
you’ve got your grandfather chin
i guess you’re mom’s been pretty busy
why don’t you sit with me a bit
if you like that song
then i can teach you it
come on over to the organ
it’s easy, i promise, i promise

[verse 3]
put your left hand here like that
line up your right and then it’s b to e, c sharp minor and back
and hey i’m sorry about your dad
i watched you during m-ss
he’d be so d-mn proud of how brave you’ve been

[outro]
you took pity on their battered souls
and never let them in
but if i’m just a lost winter coat
in a county church’s bas-m-nt
i could be of use
if you’re cold i could shelter you
and maybe i could stick around a bit you know
if you want someone to talk to
