Chesapeake Coat by Tanback Lyrics

Run straight for the cover
And run for me a quick mile
You’ll be my vagrant lover
Lonesome vagabond smile

Take me past this great snowfall
And read me past this great tome
A shimmer, a lightness
Where I can be lone
Where I can be home
To your Chesapeake coat

Bury me close to the lilies
And shepherd me ‘neath a stream
Kindness once so unknown
I’d grown with a conscious so clean

Down past the willows
And swept along Wabasha
A sweetness arose
And there a great fall
Where first I saw
Your Chesapeake coat
Taken down with such sorrow
And led astray with such vice
Then you would show me something
Something that could be nice

Bright like the first morning
And blessed like the glow
Awake in the night
With eyes so remote
Never we spoke
About your Chesapeake coat
