Cold and alone
In the vinyard he lies
Stained and all broken
The nightingale dies
Looking from your window
I can see the snow
Freezing cold
Cold and alone
In the vinyard he lies
Stained and all broken
The nightingale dies
Grinding to a halt
On stone cold gravel
Freeze alone
Turning away from the wasted hours
Turning away from the wasted years
Turning away from the wasted hours
Turning away from the wasted years
In the vinyard he lies
Stained and all broken
The nightingale dies
Looking from your window
I can see the snow
Freezing cold
Cold and alone
In the vinyard he lies
Stained and all broken
The nightingale dies
Grinding to a halt
On stone cold gravel
Freeze alone
Turning away from the wasted hours
Turning away from the wasted years
Turning away from the wasted hours
Turning away from the wasted years
