Philippa Hanna Cherry Coloured Coat
The dogs, the dogs of jealousy,
Keep running, running after me,
The hounds of insecurity,
Keep scratching at my door
Saying aaooo, won't you come out tonight?
Saying aaooo, don't fear the pale moonlight.
The fabric of my modesty,
Keeps tearing on these cherry trees,
I'm falling on the fallen leaves of yesterday's bad dreams,
Saying aaooo, I won't stay out tonight.
Aaooo, but if I stay out tonight,
I know I'm gonna be alright.
He always sees my heart,
Like glitter in the dark,
And covers me in glory.
So I won't fear the noises in the night,
I'm walking by his side,
And I'm wearing my,
Cherry coloured coat.
The king of criminals and thieves,
Keeps calling, calling after me,
Through shadowlands and forest deep,
In robes of white and gold.
Saying aaooo, I won't let go tonight.
Aaooo, you're robed with heaven's cloak and paradise.
I know you're gonna be alright.
He always sees my heart,
Like glitter in the dark,
And covers me in glory.
So I won't feel the noises in the night,
I'm walking by his side,
And I'm wearing my,
Cherry coloured coat.
Oooh, long after the stars are gone,
And morning wakes and never-ending sun,
He's gonna see me coming home,
'Cos I'll be walking in my cherry coloured coat.
Aaooo, I won't let go tonight,
Aaooo, your robed to heaven's cloak and paradise.
I know you're gonna be alright.
He always sees my heart,
Like glitter in the dark,
And covers me in glory.
So I won't feel the noises in the night,
I'm walking by his side,
And I'm wearing my,
Cherry coloured coat.
