Come inside my coat,I will keep you warm
Keep your rings in the pocket
And wrap yourself around my arm.
I will take you to the zoo
And show you little monkeys
Steal a bird and keep them too.
In the realms of my coat it gets dark
I will pluck a star and hang it by
So you may never stop your homework
If you ever be hungry don't clutch your tummy
My coat has warm bread and hot milk
And I will slice the edges just like mummy
Lay your head on my chest and take a nap
Close your eyes and I will sing
A tale of kings as I pat my lap
And when you are old and big
You will leave the coat and step out
It is then I will feel the hole in me
grow bigger as you face the cruel world
I will drop a tear and snort my nose
But hope you will be safe and happy out there
If you ever miss the coat, do come by
I may not be around but it shall be hanging
Alone and empty but alive with its memories
But for now I pat you as I sing you to sleep
In the coat of warmth, the coat of dreams.

In probably one of the most thought of possibilities, the Coat is my Home. My place of Refuge. Someplace where I have dreams and hopes taken care of.
I've 'lived' at my Home long enough. I need now to step out, and clothe my self in something else to 'survive'.
