Lyrics

THE COAT-TAILS OF WINTER
Verse 1:

There?s a place I know in Ireland, up on a Kerry down
And every night I fall upon my knees;
And I pray that God will take me back, so I might be around
When the coat-tails of winter brush the leaves

Bridge 1:

When the gentle snowflakes come to rest upon the wild red rose
I can hear an angel?s voice upon the breeze
Now the sun has lost its warmth but in my heart an ember glows
When the coat-tails of winter brush the leaves

Verse 2:

I can see my Mother smiling, as I climbed on board a train
She said I?ll see you soon when there is peace
It was the last time that I saw her, but our time will come again
When the coat-tails of winter brush the leaves

Bridge 2:


I have fought mine inner demons and it?s true what Jesus said:
?One should learn to love thine enemies?
I was caught between two currents but I found my watershed
Where the coat- tails of winter brush the leaves

Bridge 3:


And if that day should dawn when springtime doesn?t come around
I should like to rest beneath the flowers and trees?
And even if the rain falls hard, I will not hear a sound
When the coat-tails of winter brush the leaves
