From the Album: Stompin' Ground (SBS Records)

Moanin’ Coat Michelle Malone (STRANGE BIRD SONGS/ASCAP)

Blackbirds dot the sun like pinholes

Where the night shines through And I’m missing you

Every time she cries I apologize

I don’t know what else to do

The sky is bruised and blushing

Like a broken woman singing, “hush now”

I wish that I could

Oh, I wish that I could

Wrap you up in my morning coat

People rush around just like horses on a carousel

Oh, and I don’t know why we fell out of love, but

Boats out on the lake drift like buckets floating in a well

And I’m Sinking down

Tail lights start to flicker

In the mirror and that’s all that she wrote

I wish that I could

Oh, I wish that I could

Wrap you up in my morning coat

I wish that I could (wrap you up)

Oh, I wish that I could (wrap you up)

Wrap you up in my morning coat (in my morning coat)

Oh, I miss you and you know I’m sorry

When I come home will you pick me up at the station

The sky is falling, and I got nothing to show for all my time away and I miss you baby

I played my card too soon, you know I’m missing you, missing you
