When Winter Comes

Must fix the fence by the acre plot Two young foxes have been nosing around The lambs and the chickens wont feel safe Until its done         I must dig a drain by the carrot patch The whole crop spoils if it gets too damp And where will we be with an empty stove When winter comes          When winter comes And food is scarce We’ll warn our toes To stay indoors When summers gone We’ll fly away And find the sun When winter comes              I must find the time to plant some trees In the meadow where the river flows In time to come they’ll make good shade For some poor soul         When winter comes And food is scarce We’ll warn our toes To stay indoors When summers gone We’ll fly away And find the sun When winter comes              Must fix the fence by the acre plot Two young foxes have been nosing around The lambs and the chickens wont feel safe Until its done         When winter comes And food is scarce We’ll warn our toes To stay indoors When summers gone We’ll fly away And find the sun When winter comes     And find the sun When winter comes
