Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Wintertime текст песни

Build the dyke the water’s rising close the door the wind is howling
And the temperature is falling wintertime has come
Gather food the cupboard’s empty tho‘ the rich folk all have plenty
To their world there is no entry hungertime has come

Light your fire the cold is creeping soon you’ll hear the sound of weeping
Where the homeless men are sleeping dying time has come
Long dark nights are often endless waiting for a word of kindness
For the lonely and the friendless lonesome time has come

Winter is here and the cold is all around and you can’t plant wishes in the frozen ground

Ancient bones are oh so fragile ancient limbs are not so agile
Helping hand is what they’re needing aging time has come
