winter sounds the crying
  like an old man slowly dying
  and the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
  even colder comes the moon
  and though it never seems too soon
  a sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze
    (chorus)
  i'm mr blue
  i'm here to stay with you
  and no matter what you do
  when you're lonely - i'll be lonely too
    (repeat)
    a young girl, she is shaded
  bears the scars that never faded
  of the baby that was born on christmas day
  while the heavens sing their song
  a child's life is never long
  'cos the food supplies will only last a day
    (chorus repeat)
    patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion
  after all there's really no-one here to blame
  soldiers taking orders, 'cos we must defend the borders
  of our nation (and the other side's the same)
    (chorus repeat)
    i'll come to you at night
  when all the world is sleeping tight
  and lie beside you, till the early morning dew
  you can't hear me, you can't see
  but you can feel me when you read
  the folded letter she left addressed to you
    (chorus repeat)
