The Roof Is Leaking

Phil Collins
seq by Steve Byas - kar by Mike M (1/3/00)

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
Ịve tried to fix the fire,
but you know the damn thing̣s too old

Iṭs 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
I sure hope they write, just to let us know

And me, Ịm getting stronger by the minute
My wifẹs expecting, but I hope she can wait
̣Cos this winter looks like iṭs gonna be another bad one
But Spring̣ll soon be here,
Oh God I hope iṭs 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 childreṇll 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
Ịve tried to fix the fire,
but you know the damn thing̣s too old

And me, Ịm getting stronger by the minute
My wifẹs expecting, but I hope she can wait
̣Cos this winter looks like iṭs gonna be another bad one
But Spring̣ll soon be here,
Oh God I hope iṭs not late
