| 11 | I'd worn my ragged coat so bare[[BR]] |
| 12 | The tattered sleaves were thin as paper[[BR]] |
| 13 | And so I took it to a tailor[[BR]] |
| 14 | And ask him kindly for repair[[BR]] |
| 15 | I made a joke and said, this coat[[BR]] |
| 16 | Requires total restoration[[BR]] |
| 17 | To bring me glory and salvation[[BR]] |
| 18 | I need your skillful hand to sew[[BR]] |
| 19 | But then my playful little words[[BR]] |
| 20 | Took on a meaning uninteded[[BR]] |
| 21 | As he methodically mended[[BR]] |
| 22 | He seemed disturbed, peculiar bird[[BR]] |
| 23 | And I observed the silent way[[BR]] |
| 24 | He worked through rectifying garment[[BR]] |
| 25 | As though my soul depended on it,[[BR]] |
| 26 | This ragged coat, for all may days[[BR]] |
| 27 | He thought I'd slip into the sleeve[[BR]] |
| 28 | And I'd but live again so clearly[[BR]] |
| 29 | That somehow you could love sincerely[[BR]] |
| 30 | But that's absurd, peculiar bird[[BR]] |
