Yellow Coat Lyrics

It′s a long time since I saw you last
Tell me how you've been
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat
Do the flowers in your window box
Still smile when you walk in
Did you ever read the letters that I wrote

And I′ve been on the road since Christmas
That don't seem so bad
Outside of that there isn't much to say
Oh, I cut down on my drinking
And I wrote another song
I wish you wouldn′t look at me that way

Remember all the mornings
When we walked along the park
In the night we babysat for Billy′s kid
And all the times we used to talk
About having one ourselves
I can't remember why we never did

And do the neighbors still complain a bit
When the music gets too loud
And does your old cat still sleep upon the bed
You used to walk around
As if your head was in the clouds
Have you heard a single thing I′ve said
And this Saturday you drive to New York
I guess I'd better go
Did you notice that the weather′s getting cold

It's a long time since I saw you last
Tell me how you′ve been
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat
Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat
