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)
