[Em]Walking in my sleep, [Em]like the naked trees
Will they [G]wake up again? Do they [A]sleep, do they dream?

I am [G]moved by the chill
Hear the [A]winter bird sing, [Em]ah, [G]ah [D]
[chorus]
My [C]tears are always frozen, I can [Am]see the air I breathe.
Got my [Em]fingers painting pictures, on the [D]glass in front of me.

All I [Em]need is to remember, how it [D]was to feel alive.

In a [A]dream, by the lake, [Em]ah, [D]ah…
