The Grateful Dead - I Will Take You Home


Little girl lost
In a forest of dreams.
It´s a dark old wood
And it´s damp with dew.
Hoot owl hoots
For a moment it seems
Something big and cold
Got ahold of you.
Just when everything gets scary,
Daddy´s come around for his darlin´ again.
Hold my hand with your little fingers.
Daddy´s loving arms gonna gather you in.
Ain´t no way the Bogeyman can get you,
You can close your eyes, the world is gonna let you,
Your daddy´s here and never will forget you,
I will take you home.
I will take you home.
Gonna carry you back home
In my arms.
I will take you home.
Long is the road
We must travel on down.
Short are the legs
That will struggle behind.
I wish I knew for sure
Just where we´re bound,
What we will be doin´
And what we´re gonna find.
Wherever we go, there will be birds to cheer you
Flowers to color in the fields around.
Wherever we go, I´ll be right here near you
You can´t get lost when you´re always found.
Ain´t no fog that´s thick enough to hide you
Your daddy´s gonna be right here beside you
If your fears should start to get inside you.
I will take you home.
I will take you home.
Gonna carry you back home
In my arms.
I will take you home.
