There's a hole in the roof
Where the rain comes in
Would you go?

Or say it is a long and dusty road
And your feet are bare
And your throat is parched
And you don't know where to go
And a man stepped forward
And said, "Would you go? Would you go?"

Or it was a foreign land
And the oars were dropped
And a voice said, "Will you walk?"
And you saw nothing, would you go?

Oh, my sweet, sweet, darling
It's been a long long way down
And it's been a long long long long time
Oh but I have found you
And I cannot stand here and watch you go

Or say it was a long and winding path
And your feet are bare
And the road is rocky
And you don't know where
And you want water

There's a hole in the roof
Where the rain comes in
