I Will Take You Home (Little Girl Lost) – Grateful Dead
By
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 Just got a hold of you Just when everything gets scary Daddy’s come ’round 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 Flower 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
