12 Strings - Clothes for Blankets Lyrics

Cold wind prickles against his skin
Pennies dropping next to him
No place to go all on his own
Bitter taste no winter coat
As the daylight slips away and the footsteps die down
He's alone again in this town
Clothes for blankets and meanwhile traffic is passing by
The coffees cold but the cafes closed for the night
Doorways for bedrooms the night clubs he's next to are opened up
As the revellers say goodnight it get harder every time
And the clothes for blankets aren't enough tonight
Red eyes sinking face
No shoe to tie his lace
His stomach is empty from nothing but the ice and snow
His mouths as dry as the cardboard he now calls home
As the daylight slips away and the footsteps die down
He's alone again with his head held down
Clothes for blankets and meanwhile traffic is passing by
The coffees cold but the cafes closed for the night
Doorways for bedrooms the night clubs he's next to are opened up
As the revellers say goodnight it get harder every time
And the clothes for blankets aren't enough tonight
Smoked filled lungs
Chapped Lips
Whisky odour
Burnt cigs
Smoked filled lungs
Chapped Lips
Whisky odour
Burnt cigs
Smoked filled lungs
Chapped Lips
Whisky odour
Burnt cigs
Smoked filled lungs
Chapped Lips
Whisky odour
Burnt cigs
Smoked filled lungs
Chapped Lips
Whisky odour
Burnt cigs
Smoked filled lungs
Chapped Lips
Whisky odour
Burnt cigs
Clothes for blankets and meanwhile traffic is passing by
The coffees cold but the cafes closed for the night
Doorways for bedrooms the night clubs he's next to are opened up
As the revellers say goodnight it get harder every time
And the clothes for blankets aren't enough tonight
Clothes for blankets no longer traffic is passing by
The coffees gone and his issues lay beside him
Once more once again now
