There's an honest man I know
In a welfare alliance
There's some stairs in the air
You can, call him a good friend of mine
Good friend of mine.
He was taken down, by the man at his door
Cloak of desperation, now
Yeah got wrapped round his soul
Wrapped round his soul.
Sew him a coat of mail
Make it all alright
Send him the wind to sail in.
Sew him a coat of mail, now, now.
Well I stood below your window
You know some things I understand.
Out in the world's a struggle and,
Every man needs a plan.
Every man needs a plan.
Oh, oh you listen without words
You know its not everyone can see
Yeah I recognise your eyes
Well, well, yeah they once belonged to me
Once belonged to me.
Sew him a coat of mail
Make it all alright
Send him the wind to sail in.
Sew him a coat of mail, now, now.
Coat of mail.
Coat of mail.
Yeah you walked the street at sunrise
No matter where you turn
There's questions with out answers
And, they continue to burn,
Continue to burn.
Oh but it's a fine thread gonna keep you in this place
Yeah I see you've found yourself something
Because it's written on your face
Written on your face.
Sew him a coat of mail
Make it all alright
Send him the wind to sail in.
Sew him a coat of mail, now, now.
Coat of mail.
Coat of mail.
