Robert Forster Let Your Light In Babe
Let Your Light In, Babe
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.
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.
