The Roof Is Leaking (Nicka’s Stella Polaris interpretation) Songtext
von Phil Collins

The roof is leaking, and the wind is howling
Kids are crying ′cause 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
Well, she and her young man, they both moved out there
I sure hope they write, just to let us know

Ma and Pa lived here, and theirs before them
They tried their hardest to make it a home
Seems so long now since they passed over
Hope my children will try to make it their own


Hope my children
Hope my children
Hope my children
Hope my children
Hope my children

Hope my children
Hope my children
Hope my children
Hope my children
Hope my children

My roof is leaking and the wind is howling
The kids are crying 'cause the sheets are so cold
I woke this morning and my hands were frozen
Oh, I′ve tried to fix the fire, but you know, the damn thing′s too old

Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh
It's not late

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh, oh
Try to make it their own
