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)
