There's an honest man I knowIn 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
