DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Sell Me A Coat

"Sell Me A Coat"



La la la la la la, la la la la la la la

A winter's day, a bitter snowflake on my face

My summer girl takes little backward steps away



Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost ain't so cool



[CHORUS]

Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

Sell me a coat that's red or gold

Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

Sell me a coat 'cause I feel cold



And when she smiles, the ice forgets to melt away



Not like before, her smile was warming yesterday

See the trees like silver candy, feel my icy hand



[CHORUS]

See my eyes, my window pane

See my tears like gentle rain

That's a memory of the summer day



[CHORUS (twice)]

La la la la la la [repeat]
