Mckennitt Loreena Parallel Dreams Dickens' Dublin (The Palace) Music and Lyrics by Loreena McKennitt 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. L.M.: Vocals, Harp, Keyboards GEORGE KOLLER: Cello, Bass BRIAN HUGHES: Guitar DAVID WOODHEAD: Accordion OLIVER SHROER: Violin Mixed by Jeff Wolpert at Inception Sound, Toronto Dicken's Dublin Transcript: Joyful mystery, the birth of our lord... This night our Lady and St. Joseph was going up to get registered and um they were going down the road and they met 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... and they went in and he said 'Where ye going with yer best stitches on ye.' And they said 'Did you not hear the news' and say he says ' What News' he says 'This day the Saviour is born' and he said to them ' When you find him come back and tell me cause I want to go and adore him too' and he was only codddin' them. He wanted to kill him and when they were going, they stopped and they said 'Surely not this old stable that our King is born in. We was expecting a palace. There was these shepherds and shepherds are fellas that mind the foals and cows and sheeps and little lambs and all and um they hears this beautiful music up in the sky and they were wondering what was so fun... an angel disappated them and he said I was wonderin' what so fun' and he said ye, and he said 'The Saviour is born.
