Raincoat Songtext
von Old Wave

When I was a young boy
Six strings and America
One night like the others
Eyes like an island lost at sea
Baptized in the ocean
Heartbreak in the summertime
Something like a spirit
Burnt red rocks on a landlocked beach

Hidden in the hemlock
A stone′s throw from the synagogue
Let me be your lover
Arms that are open, lips and teeth
When I am an old man
Take me to Reunion
Wear a yellow raincoat
Write my name on an empty beach

It's been a long while
Just barely a memory
You wouldn′t remember me


We took a bus ride
Invented an alibi
And treasured a melody

If we could slow down
I'd know how
To breathe deep
And hold it in
Time is forever
I never
Thought I'd be here again
Close your eyes
Time to count to ten

Make me in the mountains
A secret for the summertime
Something undiscovered
Eyes like an island received
Stay with me forever
Be my yellow raincoat
Something like religion
Over and over in a dream


It′s been a long while
Just barely a memory
You wouldn′t remember me

We took a bus ride
Invented an alibi
And treasured a melody

If we could slow down
I'd know how
To breathe deep
And hold it in
Time is forever
I never
Thought I′d be here again

If we could slow down
I'd know how
To breathe deep
And hold it in
Time is forever
I never
Thought I′d be here again
Close your eyes
Time to count to ten

When I was a young boy
Six strings and America
One night like the others
Eyes like an island lost at sea
Baptized in the ocean
Heartbreak in the summertime
Something like a spirit
Over and over in a dream

When I am an old man
Take me to Reunion
Wear a yellow raincoat
Write my name on an empty beach
Keep me here forever
Stay still, unexplainable
Something like a vision
Beautiful, perfect in my dream
