Christmas night in Dublin
Tekst : Øystein Berntsen
Molodi : Dag Sindre Vagle

The stars glanced over the houses and down
On the Dublin streets covered in snow
And a man gently walking
With no special places to go

And as the snow softly fell over Dublin Bay
He brushed it all off from his sleeve
And walked to Halfpenny bridge
All alone on Christmas Eve

Chorus: A Christmas with cold winds alone in the park
St. Stephens Green offered a bench in the dark
Give him strength for the fight
On this lonely Christmas night

As the bells of St. Patrick’s rang Christmas to town
In the pub where he met his late wife
Inside the rim of his pint
Roamed the echo of a lonely man’s life

But as he walked out to greet the shivering cold
A man in the door said hello
It was a friend from the past
Seeking refuge from the wind and the snow

Chorus: Same as first

And as daylight broke through over Dublin town
Bringing Christmas to everyone’s hearts
Two mates walked together
To find peace in their lonely old hearts

Chorus: It’s no Christmas time all alone in the dark
The Christmas lights shine through St. Stephens Green park
And the Salvation Army
Sings the hymn of a lonely man’s life
