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)
