Natural Fear

Afraid of the water My baby, don't cry It's a natural fear The shadows appear And your feet are dangling over Now I'm building a boat Just your size There's no room for me But look over and see Me waving from the shore Saying, you can go anywhere You can go anywhere You can go anywhere I know it's hard to believe Frightened of monsters Well, darling, so am I We both know they're real Hungry for the next meal Clawing at the door So I'm drawing a circle Around the bed Make up a rhyme Say it three times Pull the blanket up to your chin Saying, you can go anywhere You can go anywhere You can go anywhere I know it's hard to believe Trying to grow a garden But the ground is so hard It threatens to break Surely it's a mistake To plant such precious seeds So I'll remove all the stones Rearrange them one by one Build you a room Where you can bloom Roses growing through the floor Saying, you can go anywhere You can go anywhere You can go anywhere You can go anywhere You can go anywhere You can go anywhere
