Steve Goodman - Yellow Coat lyrics

It's a long time since I saw you last Tell me how you've been Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat? Do the flowers in your window box Still smile when you walk in? Did you ever read the letters that I wrote? And I've been on the road since Christmas But it don't seem so long Outside of that there isn't much to say. I cut down on my drinkin' And I wrote another song I wish you wouldn't look at me that way Remember all the mornings That we walked around the park The nights we babysat for Billy's kids And all the times we used to talk Of having one ourselves I don't remember why we never did Do your neighbors still complain a bit When the music gets too loud? Does your old cat still sleep up on the bed? Do you still walk around as if your head was in the clouds? Have you heard a single thing I've said? And it's a two day drive to New York I guess I'd better go Did you notice that the weather's gettin' cold? And it's a long time since I saw you last And tell me how you've been Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat? Did you ever get to buy that yellow coat?
