Verse 1 Walkin’ down Lygon in a second-hand coat Coffee steam risin’, got dreams to promote The tram rolls past like a verse I forgot A line on my lips, a story I’m not Verse 2 Down by the Yarra the rowers glide through Old men play chess while the sky turns blue She said she’d meet me by the station steps But it’s twenty years late and I’ve got regrets Chorus And it’s four seasons in a breath Sunshine, then it hides to death You hold your coat close, then you let it float Like hope stitched into a patchwork coat I love this town, but it don’t love clean It’s a patchwork coat in faded jean Verse 3 Footy scores echo from a Fitzroy bar Kids in black hoodies dream of a guitar That’ll take them someplace, far from the train But they’ll still write songs about this rain Chorus (repeat) And it’s four seasons in a breath... Outro Yeah I love this town, through thick and thin Wearing my patchwork coat against the wind
