Cedar and Rain on My Sleeve
by Max Solano
“A jacket left on a chair that still smells of cedar and rain. I let the silence between lines do half the singing.”

Lyrics
You left your jacket on the chair Still smells of cedar, rain and air I wear it in the kitchen, tea gone cold It feels like a story I've been told Sleeves too long and shoulders wide Warm as a hand on my side Cedar and rain on my sleeve Hold on a little, don't leave I'll give it back, but not tonight Let me keep the soft warm light Cedar and rain on my sleeve Some things are better to borrow than to grieve Oh, you're close when I close my eyes Wrapped in a friendly disguise There's a button hanging by a thread I sew it back and shake my head Coin and ticket in the pocket deep Little treasures a friend would keep Sleeves too long and shoulders wide Warm as a hand on my side Cedar and rain on my sleeve Hold on a little, don't leave I'll give it back, but not tonight Let me keep the soft warm light Cedar and rain on my sleeve Some things are better to borrow than to grieve Oh, you're close when I close my eyes Wrapped in a friendly disguise Tomorrow I'll knock on your door Hand it over, ask for nothing more But tonight the window's grey And your jacket keeps the cold away Cedar and rain on my sleeve Hold on a little, don't leave I'll give it back, but not tonight Let me keep the soft warm light Cedar and rain on my sleeve Some things are better to borrow than to grieve Oh, you're close when I close my eyes Wrapped in a friendly disguise Cedar and rain On my sleeve
