This is a hymn when you can't sleep To scare away the demons and the creeps And those who keep your eyes awake and your heart beat And those who watch you fall and hurt your knees And I wouldn't let that happen to you babe I wouldn't let that happen to you babe ♪ This is a hymn across the sea This is a gift for you to keep Just a little tune to keep your ears busy So you won't feel lonely when you're not with me 'Cause I wouldn't let that happen to you babe I wouldn't let that happen to you babe ♪ This is a hymn about a tree That's growing big and strong inside of me That grounds my feet and writes my poetry That gives you love if love is what you need I will let that happen to you babe I will let that happen to you babe Yes, I will let that happen to you babe I will let that happen to you babe
