Missing You

The rain falls, the wind blows, gone the season's warmth

Make way for the cold icy winter snow

My tears fall like rain. you’re only gone for a while

I miss you darling, and our children feel our pain

You've gone to find work in the coal mines up North

Saying it’s the only way we will survive these hard times

Each day I look after our children, my mind is one you

I can’t cope with being away, yet what can we do

This is not it’s not for the best

It's putting everything about us to the test

I know you’ve only been away a short while

I see your face every day in our children smiles

sometimes I think I will go insane

you’re always on my mind you’re, inside my brain

I’m missing you more than words can say

wondering how you’re spending your day

Underground you’re working the coal dirty and dark

I sit here crying for you with our children in the park

missing you my life is empty and sad

When you come home, that’s when I’ll be glad

Keep safe my darling until we meet again

Till then my tears for you will fall like rain

The children are too young to miss you there only small

I fear when you come home they won't know you at all

I get your money every week it arrives here on time

Please come home, there must be other work than the mines

Selfish I know wanting you here to return, I fear for you're safety

I know your only gone away to earn, so we can survive but dear

Inside it feels like you will never return to our home

Each day away from us the North is Your home
