I Will Take You Home Lyrics - Nightfall Of Diamonds: Meadowlands Sports Arena, E. Rutherford, Nj 10-16-89 (live) - Grateful Dead

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 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 

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.
