Winter Coat
Dark Dark Dark Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm glad to see
That you brought a coat
Cause winters here get awful cold
The winters here get awful cold

And If we're still lovers go out and marry
The air burns our love as the ice burns the street
You will know you will know you know you'll know

Trust me you'll know its a good thing
That you brought you coat
A damn good thing you brought your coat

And if we're still lovers go out and marry
The coldest bones we warm our sheets
And much you're convinced that it is going to be spring
But for two more months you're shivering
And its a good thing

That you brought your coat
A damn good thing you brought your coat
