Wintertime Lyrics by Paddy Goes To Holyhead

Wintertime

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
Dont built shelters from the nighttime give them pride now is the right time
Home has not a homeless lifetime giving time has come

Feed the hungry the people do not heed your church and steeple
For your care there is no equal caring time has come
Shine a light the night has fallen in the dark theres someone calling
For a friend until the morning friendship time has come
