[Verse 1]
We were lovers once
Long ago
Walking through cold city streets
Like lovers do

Stopped inside a market
Kissed behind the stall
Someone said, 'You'd better move on
If you're not buying at all'

[Verse 2]
Then I saw the winter coat
Hanging on the rack
I thought about that winter coat
Hanging on my back

So you helped me try it on
It was just my size
Then you bought that coat for me
After haggling over the price

[Chorus 1]
Now when it's chilly
Up in these cold, cold hills
I just put on
My winter coat
My winter coat
Keeps me warm

[Verse 3]
Years have come along
Years have gone
Some friends have risen
Some have moved on

And my old winter coat still
Hangs by my front door
Holding all the stories
I don't remember anymore

[Chorus 2]
And when it gets freezing
Up in these cold, cold hills
I just put on
My winter coat
My winter coat
Keeps me warm

[Outro] x4
My winter coat...
