I saw a precious load on a lonely road when the sky was clear and cold The donkey stumbled, the young man held reins Well, the girl she looked down and her face was white She knew her time was near Hoping for a welcome smile and the warmth of a room and the cry of a child
But there's no room at the world There's no place for the child There's no room at the world How about you? How about you? How about you?
Well the innkeeper laughed and his eyes were cold The girl began to cry That's just another way of saying 'please' So he threw down some straw on the cattle floor And chased the hens away Turned and slammed the stable door behind Shook his head in the starlight
Well, it was late and cold in the garden grove When the soldiers came in view And Judas smiled as they took Him from behind And the priest said: 'kill' and the crowd went wild On their bloody holiday They whipped Him and they stripped Him And they left Him there on the cross to die
Too busy working and not enough time for You Got to make money for filling up houses now Rushing and hurrying, working and worrying Earning and spending it, beginning and ending it
Ah, there's still no room at the world
No Room at the World - Lyric Video from 1974 album Paid on the Nail by songwriter Graham Kendrick
