[Verse 1]

A Em7 D A

Winter is blue, living is gone

Some are just sleeping, in spring they'll go on

A Em7 D A

Our love is dead, nothing but crying

A Em7 D A

Love will not find even, one more new morning

[Chorus]

Why must I stay here, rain comes, I'm sitting here

Watching love moving, away into yesterday

Winter is blue, everything's leaving

Fires are now burning, and life has no reason

I am alone, waiting for nothing

If my heart freezes, I won't feel the breaking

[Chorus]

C D G Em7

Why must I stay here, rain comes, I'm sitting here

Watching love moving, away into yesterday
