Letra de The Roof Is Leaking

The roof is leaking and the wind is howling Kids are crying 'cos the sheets are so cold I woke this morning found my hands were frozen I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old It's been months now, since we heard from our Mary I wonder if she ever made the coast She and her young man, they both moved out there But I sure hope they write, just to let us know And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait 'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one But spring'll soon be here Oh, God, I hope it's not late Ma and pa lived here, and theirs before them Tried their hardest to make it a home Seems so long now since they passed over Hope my children'll try to make it their own The roof is leaking and the wind is howling Kids are crying, 'cos the sheets are so cold I woke this morning found my hands were frozen I've tried to fix the fire, but you know the damn thing's too old And me, I'm getting stronger by the minute My wife's expecting, but I hope she can wait 'Cos this winter looks like it's gonna be another bad one But spring'll soon be here Oh, God, I hope it's not late
