lyrics
Put your winter coat on my dear
Night is falling I fear
That the cold will cut you to the bone
Stretch onto my shoulders
But I won't be your prophet
I can't be your soldier
Wherever you roam
Much wiser much older
Got bit by the fire
No matter
Your heart's still much bolder than him
So why do you linger
Draw circles with fingertips
Write out all your sad songs
Fall in love with their singers
You saw the ghost in the photograph
You didn't recognise your own face
And when you see him staring back at you
Hold your nerve and turn the page
Put your winter coat on my dear
Night is falling I fear
You can clench your fists and you can grit your teeth
I judge no book by its cover
But you pine for a lover
When you should have slipped arsenic into his tea
And had the short fuse that you had with me
You saw the ghost in the photograph
You didn't recognise your own face
And when you see him staring back at you
Hold your nerve and turn the page
And we're not going home
Until the dawn finds us
Wandering lost and alone
With all our heartache behind us now
Night is falling I fear
That the cold will cut you to the bone
Stretch onto my shoulders
But I won't be your prophet
I can't be your soldier
Wherever you roam
Much wiser much older
Got bit by the fire
No matter
Your heart's still much bolder than him
So why do you linger
Draw circles with fingertips
Write out all your sad songs
Fall in love with their singers
You saw the ghost in the photograph
You didn't recognise your own face
And when you see him staring back at you
Hold your nerve and turn the page
Put your winter coat on my dear
Night is falling I fear
You can clench your fists and you can grit your teeth
I judge no book by its cover
But you pine for a lover
When you should have slipped arsenic into his tea
And had the short fuse that you had with me
You saw the ghost in the photograph
You didn't recognise your own face
And when you see him staring back at you
Hold your nerve and turn the page
And we're not going home
Until the dawn finds us
Wandering lost and alone
With all our heartache behind us now
