My Grey Overcoat Lyrics
The sun is coming up
I kissed you in the church
Under the statue of Mary white and good
I was looking for something new and pure
In the alleys of your neighborhood
Now I run down the road in my grey overcoat
Reaching to the sky
It's so lovely I could cry
Train's gonna leave
Got my wallet in my pocket
Got a vision in my head I gotta share
With somebody I love
It's two seagulls circling the waves
Oh my God, oh my god
You'd love it here
I visit but I can't stay.
I kissed you in the church
Under the statue of Mary white and good
I was looking for something new and pure
In the alleys of your neighborhood
Reaching to the sky
It's so lovely I could cry
Got my wallet in my pocket
Got a vision in my head I gotta share
With somebody I love
It's two seagulls circling the waves
Oh my God, oh my god
You'd love it here
I visit but I can't stay.

best part of the song lyric and music wise
I've listened to this album dozens of times, and only now did this song really catch my attention. Reminds me of my travel-crazy penpal in northern England. He and I have been writing letters for two years, and we always send them in the care of our imaginary carrier gulls. My heart swelled in my chest when I really heard these lyrics for the first time tonight.
