Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties Winter Coats Lyrics

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 into the calcified green holy water dish

I took pity on your battered soul
And never let you in
I feel like a lost winter coat
In a county church's basement

Where I left
I can't believe I'm here again

Waited til everybody left
I sat at the organ
And played myself a slow and quiet hymn
You sat up from the bench
You scared me half to death
I hadn't seen you since you were a kid

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 basement
I get it, I get it

You've got your grandfather ship
You're mom's still pretty busy

Do you like that song
I can teach you it
Come on over to the organ
It's easy I promise, I promise

Line up your right and then it's B to E, C sharp minor and back
Hey I'm sorry about your dad
Oh I watched your [?] in mass
He'd be so damn proud of how brave you've been

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 basement
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
