Keith Otten - Lyrics for Trickle

	Sad News Coat
	...Try to reach up if a hand should extend
	You try on bad news like an ill-fitting coat With pockets so deep that you can't reach your hope The wool is so scratchy and under your skin You can't outrun this feeling Shed this coat like a shudder - like a year Shreds of yourself, feel them just disappear You can try to explain or try to pretend Try to give over or try to begin Try to reach up if a hand should extend You can't outreach this feeling Shed this coat like a shudder - like a year Shreds of yourself, feel them just disappear The year felt familiar before it began The coat hugged your shoulders, protective and warm Get rid of this year - get rid of this coat This sad news coat.... The coat is your friend when you need it the most And afterwards lingers - a shadow, a ghost You try it on once, can't remove it again That sad news coat is now part of your skin Shed this coat like a shudder - like a year Shreds of yourself, feel them just disappear The year felt familiar before it began The coat hugged your shoulders, protective and warm Get rid of this year - get rid of this coat This sad news coat....
