lyrics

overcoat
(d.adam/e.baker)

you look about my age in the photograph,
sun kissed in the afternoon,
i was kissed by you,
you were the only one i ever needed,

you wrapped me up in your overcoat,
another button broke,
it was the last i saw of you,
you put the fences up and now i can’t get through to you,

got no time for picture frames,
you’re more inclined to keep things locked away,
i’m breaking and you don’t bend,
we’re not looking through the same lens

mirror, mirror knows nothing at all,
‘cos i’m counting sheep and they’re dressed like wolves,
you stopped trying to break my fall,
mirror, mirror’s got a heart to break,
im marching up the hill but i don’t know the way,
so stop fighting,
come break my fall,

wrap me up in your overcoat,
wrap me up in anything you got...

you never told me ‘bout the paper boat,
the one you filled with hope,
it was the one that got away,
still water,
rescue me,
i’m in too deep...oh i’m in too...

i’m into whatever it takes,
you’re ignoring everything i say,
i’m breaking and you don’t bend,
we’re not looking through the same lens

mirror, mirror knows nothing at all,
‘cos i’m counting sheep and they’re dressed like wolves,
you stopped trying to break my fall,
mirror, mirror’s got a heart to break,
im marching up the hill but i don’t know the way,
so stop fighting,
come break my fall,

wrap me up in your overcoat,
wrap me up in anything...

oh wrap me up,
oh so wrap me up,
oh so wrap me up...in anything that you got.

mirror, mirror knows nothing at all,
‘cos i’m counting sheep and they’re dressed like wolves,
you stopped trying to break my fall,
mirror, mirror’s got a heart to break,
im marching up the hill but i don’t know the way,
so stop fighting, (come break my fall)
stop fighting,

wrap me up in your overcoat,
wrap me up in anything you got,
wrap me up in your overcoat,
wrap me up in anything...
