I've traveled the world and the seven bright seas
For the keys to these riddles you're layin' before me
Been used and abused by these lesser deities
For to ease my disease I'm on bended knee
To my lonely love, the girl in a coat
I prayed at your heart, I danced for rain
Some wise men, shepherds and Indians came
Been chased and mistreated and put down to shame
All the same if I bring rain, that's the name of the game
To my lonely love, the girl in a coat
Cos winter is where she abides all the while
The hillsides are covered in snow
And summertime sister sends letters to me
She speaks with a voice that I know
A voice that I know
In a broke down truck on the edge of this town
With the dusty old world spinning round and round
I been caught, I been shot, I been buried alive
But that's nothing compared to the look in her eye
To my lonely love, the girl in a coat
Cos winter is where she abides all the while
The hillsides are covered in snow
And summertime sister sends letters to me
She speaks with a voice that I know
A voice that I know
