"My Best Friend's Coat" lyrics

In the depths of despair
I took another drink
It soothed my mind
And helped me to think
Of all the places I've never been

Down by the river
In soulless penury
Even the sky
Wouldn't look at me

I had no point
It had no reason

Into pockets I go
Of my best friend's coat
Looking for what
I don't know

In the depths of despair
I had another line
Nothing easy
Nothing fine
Rounds of circles all out of time

Spinning plates unresolved
In my best friend's coat
Bringing bad things
I know

So, I looked to the days
When I wasn't afraid
And I dreamed I was there
Once again
