Parallel Dreams |
|
Dickens' Dublin (The Palace) |
|
I walk the streets of Dublin town |
|
It's 1842 |
|
It's snowing on this Cristmas Eve |
|
Think I'll beg another bob or two |
|
I'll huddle in this doorway here |
|
Till someone comes along |
|
If the lamp lighter comes real soon |
|
Maybe I'll go home with him |
|
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home |
|
Maybe I can find a home I can call my own |
|
The horses on the cobbled stones pass by |
|
Think I'll get one one fine day |
|
And ride into the country side |
|
And very far away. |
|
But now as the daylight disappears |
|
I best find a place to sleep |
|
Think I'll slip into the bell tower |
|
In the church just down the street |
|
Maybe I can find a place I can call my home |
|
Maybe I can find a home I can call my own |
|
Maybe on the way I'll find the dog |
|
I saw the other night |
|
And tuck him underneath my jacket |
|
So we'll stay warm through the night |
|
And as we lie in the bell tower high |
|
Ad dream of days to come |
|
The bells o'er head will call the hour |
|
The day we will find a home. |

|
this man... and he said have you any room and he said 'Not but there's an old |
|
stable over there that I owned... If yous want to go into it... And they went |
|
over and the Lord came down from heaven at twelve o'clock and loads of |
|
beautiful angels was with them... and when they were walkin... |
|
These three wise kings... um... they were all from different countries. And |
|
they always looked up at the sky and they looked up this night and saw this |
|
beautiful star up in the sky... and when they were going they all meeted |
|
together... and they had to pass King Herod's, not that we much care for him... |
