Cardigan

Listen Here

Everything’s a cardigan to you...
This coat, that sweater, this leftover shoe,
Even the green days of yellow and blue,
Everything’s a cardigan to you.
Everything’s a cardigan to you
Something that’s false is now something true
That cloud in the sky and this bird that just flew
Everything’s a cardigan to you
Everything’s a cardigan to you
Something that pulls over all of your blues
Sometimes it’s time to begin again new.
Everything’s a cardigan to you
That blouse with those ruffles that bend like the wind,
that old flannel shirt that still fits like a friend
even those words you write over again
turn into a cardigan too.
Yes, everything’s a cardigan to you
That prom queen, that poet, the winners who lose
The dreamers and artists and scientists too
Now, even he’s a cardigan to you
