Ellery - Long Coat On lyrics

It was a long winter for Katie And she had the worn look to show it Her roof was old and leaking And she was tired of living below it She didn't know who lived above her But this room below she knew too well She'd read books of friends and lovers And wanted stories of her own to tell Chorus She had her long coat on She had that look in her eye She was wavin' her hat in her hand When she said 'goodbye' Her mama stood there gawking by the doorway Would've never guessed she'd finally go Saw her pack then leave behind her suitcase Sat forgotten in the melting snow So Katie was away to find her freedom The winter held her in and let her go When they said it was a big world, she believed 'em But I guess some people have to see to really know Chorus It was a long winter for Katie But one day Katie had her chance And back home they never could stop saying How she left and barely gave them all a second glance... Chorus
