Remember Bethlehem - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]
It was ever so cold [00:00:07]
She was far away from home [00:00:10]
She was not very old [00:00:14]
She was only a shabby little country girl [00:00:16]
So long ago [00:00:21]
It seems so far away; so far away [00:00:23]
But even so[00:00:29]
I know your nightingales remember her still [00:00:32]
Your pussy-willow and your daffodil [00:00:36]
Even your stony old hills[00:00:39]
Remember Bethlehem [00:00:42]
She was awfully weak[00:00:49]
For the journey'd been hard [00:00:52]
She had nowhere to sleep;[00:00:56]
She lay down in a small dark farmyard [00:00:58]
So long ago [00:01:02]
It seems so far away; so far away [00:01:05]
But even so[00:01:10]
I know your lowly hedgehog knows[00:01:13]
What it means [00:01:16]
Fish that twitch in your greeny streams [00:01:18]
Even your shaggy old trees[00:01:21]
Remember Bethlehem [00:01:24]
When she lay herself down[00:01:31]
She must've been afraid [00:01:34]
There was only the ground;[00:01:37]
She had her baby in a painful darkness [00:01:40]
So long ago [00:01:44]
It seems so far away; so far away [00:01:47]
But even so[00:01:52]
I know the rain was there when[00:01:55]
Her time had come [00:01:58]
The wind won't forget what the[00:01:59]
Girl has done [00:02:01]
Even the sulky old sun[00:02:03]
Remembers Bethlehem [00:02:05]
When she looked at the child[00:02:13]
The very first time[00:02:16]
I suppose that she smiled [00:02:19]
And it's my guess that Mary cried a little [00:02:23]
So long ago [00:02:26]
It seems so far away so far away [00:02:29]
But even so[00:02:34]
I've got the flesh and the blood[00:02:37]
To remember them by[00:02:39]
Him in my mind and her in my eye[00:02:41]
Every reason why I[00:02:44]
Remember Bethlehem [00:02:47]
Bethlehem[00:02:51]
