Phil Collins - The Roof Is Leaking [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
I hope it's not late

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
