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'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.
