Here are the lyrics to his poignant, heartwarming song. "Old Coat " Does the river run, around your heart? Did you ask the father for a rolling start? He said, here's a little less of me to leave some room for you. In the early glow, in an honest smile, he said I haven't felt this happy in awhile. In that little room, you were laughing too. As they helped you through the door, you said you felt a little warm. This body is an old coat I don't need, not anymore. Does the summer wind still warm your lungs? Did you ask for breath to sing the songs worth being sung. He said, I'd like it if you held onto this for a while. In the early glow, in an honest smile, he said I haven't felt this happy in awhile. In that little room, you were laughing too. As they helped you through the door, you said you felt a little warm. This body is an old coat I don't need, not anymore. The coloured wild cherry wood. A rest will do you good. Stubborn as you are, you don't really care for fighting, do you? It's a sigh, but not goodbye, a fond-held memory of a happy life, a song worth singing, hallelujah. In the early glow, in an honest smile, he said I haven't felt this happy in awhile. In that little room, you were laughing too. As they helped you through the door, you said you felt a little warm. This body is an old coat I don't need, not anymore.
