about

A song from the point of view of the Bethlehem inn-keeper who let a young couple stay in his stable.

lyrics

Night was drawing in when came a knocking at the door.
We had so many guests, that they were sleeping on the floor
I went up to the window to turn new folk away
We’ve no room left so try another day.

A man and wife stood in the street, their faces all forlorn,
He said, my wife’s with child and he’s ready to be born.
The words died in my mouth and I opened up the door.
I gave them all I had - a stable floor.

Just a man and woman looking for a place to stay,
Just a stable warm and dry, a manger full of hay.
Just an ordinary night the night the baby came
Just another child born but nothing will ever be the same.

Night was turning into day when finally he came.
She held him in her weary arms and smiled through the pain.
I dragged myself to bed, but I heard somebody call
We seek a baby in a cattle stall.

Just some dirty shepherds looking for a newborn king
Just some story, strange to tell of hearing angels sing.
Just an ordinary night the night the baby came
Just another child born but nothing will ever be the same.

Later in the stable when the shepherds had all gone
I looked into the manger, gazed upon the little one.
I looked into his eyes that shone with the light of dawn
And wondered who could be this child born?

Just a tiny baby blinking in the light of day
Just a makeshift cradle from a manger full of hay.
Just an ordinary night the night the baby came
Just another child born but nothing will ever be the same.
