Dickens' Dublin (The Palace) |
| I walk the streets of Dublin town |
| It’s 1842 |
| It’s snowing on this Christmas 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 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 |
| As we lie in the bell tower high |
| And dream of days to come |
| The bells o’er head will call the hour |
| The day we will find a home. |
