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


stumbling up at one
and put the kettle on
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 passes


someone came by my bedroom today
swaying around, then silently away
someone left home and my bedroom today

left by the time I slumbered away
to kill all the day


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 stumbling up at one
