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
