The Coat
Lyrics are at the front and centre of our music. This is a love song Suzy wrote for her mother Margaret who suffered from early-onset Alzheimers and can be found on our latest album STARLITE.ONE.
You told me you were leaving I asked you if you wanted your coat Or are you gonna leave it behind? You didn’t give a reason You didn’t say a word You just kept staring at your coat Won’t you tell me something to make me feel alright Won’t you give me something to take the edge off the bite Your clothes felt unfamiliar You looked the same but everything had changed And it wasn’t the light Won’t you tell me something to make me feel alright Won’t you give me something to take the edge off the bite ‘Cos I don’t know where you go What you need or do you know my name I don’t wanna let you go Let you feel like you’re alone You are my life! I love to watch you sleeping You’re so beautiful Warmed by the sunlight Won’t you tell me something to make me feel alright Won’t you give me something to take the edge off the bite
