Little Road to Bethlehem - Shawn Colvin Lyrics
Little Road to Bethlehem
The lambs were coming homeward one by one,
I heard a sheep bell softly calling them,
Along the little road to Bethlehem.
Beside an open door as I drew nigh,
I heard sweet Mary singa lullabye,
She sang about the lambs at close of day,
And rocked her tiny boy among the hay.
"The lambs are coming home," sweet Mary sang,
"Your star of gold, your star of gold is shining in the sky,"
"So sleep my little boy, go lullabye."
As I walked down the road at set of sun,
The lambs were coming homeward one by one,
I heard a sheep bell softly calling them,
Along the little road to Bethlehem.
