Remember Bethlehem (The Intake School Carol) [2006 Remaster] - Jake Thackray

作曲：Jake Thackray

It was ever so cold

She was far away from home

She was not very old

She was only a shabby little country girl

So long ago

It seems so far away so far away

But even so

I know your nightingales remember her still

Your p**sy-willow and your daffodil

Even your stony old hills

Remember Bethlehem

She was awfully weak

For the journey'd been hard

She had nowhere to sleep

She lay down in a small dark farmyard

So long ago

It seems so far away so far away

But even so

I know your lowly hedgehog knows

What it means

Fish that twitch in your greeny streams

Even your shaggy old trees

Remember Bethlehem

When she lay herself down

She must've been afraid

There was only the ground

She had her baby in a painful darkness

So long ago

It seems so far away so far away

But even so

I know the rain was there when

Her time had come

The wind won't forget what the

Girl has done

Even the sulky old sun

Remembers Bethlehem

When she looked at the child

The very first time

I suppose that she smiled

And it's my guess that Mary cried a little

So long ago

It seems so far away so far away

But even so

I've got the flesh and the blood

To remember them by

Him in my mind and her in my eye

Every reason why I

Remember Bethlehem

Bethlehem
