Old Leather Coat Lyrics

I was a young boy

When I first met you

Now I'm an old grey whiskered man

You were beautiful

I was like ice cream

I melted right into your hands

And we've experienced so much

I can't imagine life without your touch

And if we were seperated

In an old folks home

I might die in my bed

Trembling and alone

You're like my old leather coat

Which never goes out of fashion

I'll never lose my passion for you or that coat

We've been round and round

Up and down like a sea-saw

And we've sailed on wild and calm seas

I dont always understand you

And I know that I drive you mad

But we love each other with every dawning day

And year after year

You wrap me up in cotton wool

And I dry your tears

And if we were seperated by some natural disaster

I would search for you until

I reached the sweet hereafter

You're like my old leather coat

Which never goes out of fashion

I'll never lose my passion for you or that coat

And when we're lying in bed

And the world is shut outside

And it feels safe

I want to hold you for longer than our lives

You were a young girl

When you first met me

Now you're the matriachal dame

You are delicious

I am like candy

And I still melt right into your hands

And as I watch your red hair start to fade

Just want to lie in the bed which years ago I made

And if we were seperated by somebody else's war

I would lay down and die

I wouldn't wanna live any more

Youre like my old leather coat

Which never goes out of fashion

I'll never lose my passion for you or that coat

You're like my old leather coat

Which never goes out of fashion

I'll never lose my passion for you or that coat
