Little Yellow Raincoat

My little yellow rain coat
doesn’t keep the rain out
but it can keep the cold out
of living in, a big city
with a cityscape so pretty
and a landscape unforgiving
for those, who go out unprepared
but a raincoat paired with little boots
can go so far in keep your cares at bay
Verse 2
I’ve walked miles today in my little boots
they take me over hill and far away
there’s no mistaking it
the fresh air at the atmosphere
spring is here, and just in time…
Verse 3
I’ve worked hard this week,
my throat is sore and my eyelids creak
they are dry from the sunshine that disturbs my
sleep,
an hour before my alarm clock rings
and I dream at night of the april showers that
might bring relief
but they do not come, the clouds roll on
but the april showers do not come- ahhh
Bridge
I wonder over the rooftops, out into the meadow
down by the river, over to the sea
but you sit in your chair and
spin around in circles
with the grey of the air
and another cup of tea gone cold
Instrumental
Bridge 2
I wonder over the rooftops, out into the meadow
down by the river, over to the sea
and I asked you if youd come with me
you just sit in your chair and
spin around in circles
with the grey of the air
and another cup of tea gone cold..
gone cold, gone cold, gone cold
In my little yellow raincoat you watch me go

INTRO
V1
I’ve been waiting For you to come
Around the corner, knock on my door
I am patient, I am still around the corner
Knock on my door
V2
Underweather Overhead
I am restless on my aching legs
Wait for spring time, Wait for word
good things come or so I’ve heard
You said I don’t know where we are
There’s no questions to be asked
Just love me one night at a time..
Chorus
I know you’re tired so
We’ll keep the lights down low
And the music low
And when the morning comes I’ll go
INSTRUMENTAL
Oooh
Sand in my hair Mud on my boots
And a wind that takes the breath from you
All is busy All is loud
And i need some help to drown it out
Chorus
And then you told me where you are
I’m just beside your house
And I know that you aren’t home
But I just thought you’d like to know
Middle 8 /Bridge?
And I need to get out of this place
I know I should, but I just really really cant stay
One more minute if I did I’d get lost
And it’s dangerous to walk beside the sea on your own
V3…
Tide is changing, I am still
I am waiting, But I’m on my way back home
So will you be around tonight
You said I’ll be inside, come see me if you like
I know you’re tired so
We’ll keep the lights down
And when the morning comes i’ll go
I know you’re tired so we’ll keep the lights down low
And when the morning comes i’ll go
Outro...

Mount Pleasant

I put all these notes in a jar
Words to use like anti-freeze
Procrastination frost on your car
stuck inside on sunny days
I’ve wasted so much time
And I’m feeling
I’m ready for better days
maybe if I do it for you
I can do it for me
Maybe if I do it for you
I can do it for me
I put all the dates in the diary
something to work to
a something map to guide me
I know I’ll be happy then
I don’t wanna wait for them
We’ve wasted so much
Im feeling
I’m ready for better days
maybe if I do it for us
I can do it for me
Maybe if I do it for us
I can do it for me
maybe if I do it for us
I can do it for me
Maybe if I do it for us
I can do it for me
I went out for a walk round to
The park near my house
The sun went behind the clouds
but it came out before I left
I meditate on the grass. I don’t normally do that
But I thought if not now when
I breathe in the air
I listen to sounds
I feel the sun
And I feel myself
Quiet down
Maybe if I do it today
Can I do it tomorrow
If I can do it today
Maybe I’ll come back tomorow
Maybe if I do it today
Can I do it tomorrow
If I can do it today
Maybe I’ll come back tomorrow
(If I do it today could I come back tomorrow)
