Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

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
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
