| 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
|
| 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 wept
|
| I can’t believe that I’m here again
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 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 |
