about

A song about the hard economic times we’ve all been going through of late.

lyrics

I hear the wolf at the door
I’ve seen his face before
He’s hungry and I’m tired
Can’t keep him out much more

Through a chink in the blind
I watch him pace a line
Better step back from the window
He’s only biding his time

Spring follows winter
Sun follows shower
Things will get better
If only I can hold that wolf at bay
Drive him away
Cos the sun goes on rising every day

I’m keeping the faith
I’m still in the race
I’m marking down the time
Till I can get to a better place

Spring follows winter
Sun follows shower
Things will get better
If only I can hold that wolf at bay
Drive him away
Cos the sun goes on rising every day

Seagulls fly in cloudy skies
Morning comes and amber turns to grey
Cos the sun goes on rising every day
And the time will come when I don’t feel this way

Seagulls fly in cloudy skies
Morning comes and amber turns to grey
The sun goes on rising every day
