Wintertime Lyrics

	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
	[chorus:]
	Winter is here and the cold is all around
	And you can′t plant wishes in the frozen ground
	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 build shelters from the nighttime give them pride now is the right time
	Home and not a homeless lifetime giving time has come
	Feed the hungry feed 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
	[chorus]
