Robert Forster - Let Your Light In, Babe lyrics

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 Let your light in, babe 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 Let your light in, babe 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 Let your light in, babe Let your light in, babe And don't you be afraid Let your light in Let your light in Let your light in Let your light in Let your light in, babe Let your light in, babe Let your light in, babe Let your light in
