Winter sound’s 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
  
   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
  
   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
  
   I'm Mr Blue . . .
  
   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
   'Cause the food supplies will only last a day
  
   I'm Mr Blue . . .
  
   Patriot emotion
   Is the cause of the commotion
   After all there's really no-one here to blame
   Soldiers taking orders, 'cause we must defend the borders
   Of our nation (and the other side's the same)
  
   I'm Mr Blue . . .
