Batten Down the Hatches

The days are getting shorter now

And the nights are getting long

I don't pay it any mind

No, it don't worry me none

Cos though the wind rattles our windows, babe

I know that I'm safe with you inside

Though there's trees out there uprooted, babe

No wind could blow me out of line

 

They say it's gonna rain down

Say it's gonna rain down

Let's just batten down the hatches, babe

And honey, let it rain

 

We've got food up in the cupboard, darling

And a light upon the stove

We've got blankets we can huddle under

When the thunder starts to roll

And sure there's confusion, honey

There are wild wolves roaming out there too

Just come a little closer babe

I know something we could do

They say it's gonna rain down

Say it's gonna rain down

Let's just batten down the hatches, babe

And honey, let it rain

 

If you go out with fifty layers

You'll wish you had fifty-one

In here the fire's burning

And the whisky is good and strong

 

No matter what's out there, lover

Be it wind or rain or snow

Be it nuclear explosions, babe

There's one thing that I know

That whether there be riots, darling

On election day

As long as we're together, honey

I know we'll be okay

They say it's gonna rain down

Say it's gonna rain down

Let's just batten down the hatches, babe

And honey, let it rain
