A                 C/G#
Winter came by my bedroom today
G/B                 C/G#
Falling in rows and covering the lane
Morning shone on my windows today
Passing the time I slumber away,
    D            C  G/B
to kill all the day

Chorus:
          E              D             A
Stumbling up at one and put the kettle on
     D#dim              E   D      A
But where's the coffee gone in the afternoon
I put the TV on, but where's the drama gone
In the afternoon and time is all that pass

Someone came by my bedroom today
Swaying around, then silently away
Someone left home my bedroom today
Left by the time I slumbered away,
to kill all the day

Chorus

Some people don't hurry
Don't you worry they say
One day I'll be older
So much colder I say
This fear won't appear, if I keep

Chorus

Winter came by my bedroom today
Falling in rows and covering the lane
Morning shone on my windows today
Passing the time I slumber away,
to kill all the day
