The Roof Is Leaking (2015 Remaster)

The Roof Is Leaking (2015 Remaster) - 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
