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   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   Coat of mail   Coat of mail   Coat of mail      I stood below your window   You know some things I understand   Out in the world’s a struggle   Every man needs a plan   Every man needs a plan      You listen without words   You know its not everyone can see   And recognise your eyes   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   Coat of mail   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       It’s a fine thread can keep you in this place   I see you’ve found yourself something   Because its 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   Coat of mail   Coat of mail   Coat of mail
