Kishore Kumar Hits — Emily Portman - Mossy Coat lyrics

Artist: Emily Portman

album: The Glamoury

How do you like my new mossy coat
Made with my mother's own hands
Knitted with night songs from her throat
Stitched with silver strands
She said, the world is wide love
Be careful what you wish for
For when you wear your new mossy coat
All your fancies will fly to the door
And how do you like my new silk dress
Color of birds in the air
I love to see the passers-by turn their heads and stare
She said, watch for the magpies, love
With a fleck of gold in their eyes
They'll flock, and they'll flatter
They'll charm, and they'll chattеr
Then vanish to the skies
And how do you likе my velvet coat, with its golden filigree?
What use have I for a mossy old coat, now I wear such finery?
She said, sure you look fancy, love
But don't cast your old coat away
For gold may glitter in the sun
But moss glows in the shade
But I cast off my mossy old coat
And I throw it to the floor
And in a flash my finery fades
I'm back at my mother's front door
She said, the world is wide, love
The glamory addled your head
Come sit for a while
I'll show you how to use a needle and thread
