David Bowie - Sell Me A Coat lyrics

La la la la la la, la la la la la la la

A winter`s day, a bitter snowflake on my face

My summer girl takes little backward steps away

Jack Frost took her hand and left me, Jack Frost ain`t so cool

CHORUS

Sell me a coat with buttons of silver

Sell me a coat that`s red or gold

Sell me a coat with little patch pockets

Sell me a coat `cause I feel cold

And when she smiles, the ice forgets to melt away

Not like before, her smile was warming yesterday

See the trees like silver candy, feel my icy hand

CHORUS

See my eyes, my window pane

See my tears like gentle rain

That`s the memory of a summer day

CHORUS (twice)

La la la la la la (repeat)
