The Roof Is Leaking Lyrics - Face Value - Phil Collins

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
