Capo 1st fret drop-D INTRO x3 VERSE 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 2 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 MIDDLE 8 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 oh God I hope it’s not late VERSE 3 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 VERSE 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 MIDDLE 8 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 oh God I hope it’s not late OUTRO

La chanson évoque des moments difficiles et les luttes d'une vie marquée par le froid et l'incertitude. Le narrateur se retrouve dans une situation précaire, où le toit fuit et la tempête rend le quotidien insupportable. Les enfants ont froid, et l'anxiété se fait sentir, notamment face à l'absence d'une proche. Malgré cette adversité, il y a un sentiment d'espoir ; la force intérieure grandit et le narrateur se prépare à l'arrivée d'un nouvel enfant, en attendant que le printemps fasse son apparition. Le contexte semble être celui d'une famille qui se bat pour rester unie face aux épreuves de la vie. Les souvenirs des ancêtres et l'espoir pour les générations futures renforcent ce lien, comme une quête de stabilité et d'amour même dans les moments les plus difficiles.
