"Girl In A Coat" lyrics

"Girl In A Coat"

I've traveled the world
And the seven bright seas
For the keys to these riddles you've lain before me
Been used and abused
By these lesser deities
For to ease my disease I'm on bended knees
To my lonely lovely girl in a coat

I prayed your heart
I danced for rain
Some wise men, shepherds and the indians came
Been chased and mistreated
Been put down to shame
All the same if I bring rain
That's the name of the game
To my lonely lovely girl in a coat

'Cause winter is where she abides all the while
And hillsides are covered in snow
The summertime sister sends letters to me
She speaks with a voice that I know
A voice that I know

In a broke down truck on the edge of this town
With a dusty old world spinning round and round
Been caught, I been shot, I been buried alive
But that's nothing compared to the look in her eye
To my lonely lovely girl in a coat

'Cause winter is where she abides all the while
And hillsides are covered in snow
The summertime sister sends letters to me
She speaks with a voice that I know
A voice that I know

Na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na

Na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
