I Will Take You Home Live at Knickerbocker Arena March 1990 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Has got a hold of you
Just when everything gets scary
Daddy's come around for his darling again
Hold my hand with your little fingers
Daddy's loving arms are going to gather you in

[Chorus]
Ain't no way the Boogeyman can get you
You can close your eyes, the world is going to let you
Your daddy's here and he 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
[Verse 2]
Long is the road
We travel on down
Short are the legs
That will struggle behind
I wish I knew for sure
Just where we were bound
What we will be doing
And what we're going to 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

[Chorus]
Ain't no fog that's thick enough to hide you
Your daddy's going to be right here beside you
If your fears should start to get inside you
I will take you home
I will take you home
Going to carry you back home in my arms
I will take you home
