The Lonely Shepherd Boy
Where are you going father this chilly eve
Why do you leave your lonely flock all alone
You know I’m still a young boy, not yet a man
Can’t understand your reason why do you go
You went away so quickly not a good bye
I nearly cried my father, please hurry home
Why did that star so brightly come from the skies
Captured your eyes and led you so far away
Somewhere I heard my father I think in my dreams
A baby it seems is lying close by your side
As you gaze on the manger the cattle may low
But how will I know if you will ever come home
What did I do to hurt you what have I done
Have you a new son waiting, where have you gone
