Let Your Light In Babe

Robert Forster – Let Your Light In, Babe

Capo 4

(Capo 9) D A G

Mrs Ellis said. “There’s someone you should meet here in the church”.

I lent my back again, up against the church and went back inside.

There was a woman and a child whom I’d not seen and Mrs Ellis said.

“The woman is a friend, new to this town, a mother and a child”.

Let your light in babe, and don’t you be afraid.

I live by myself. A mile from the church and do my work at home.

The house was a gift, given from a friend on whom I used to care.

Named Silius Farm, though it’s not a farm, but a house amidst trees.

And Mrs Ellis said, but I stopped her and said. “They can stay with me”.

Let your light in babe, and don’t you be afraid.

Later, Mrs Ellis said. ‘Now are mother and child well?”

I said. “They are well.

The mother is in bed. The child is at school and I must be rushing home!”

Let your light in babe, and don’t you be afraid.
