No Harm Is Gonna Come To You

oh the martin’s in the myrtle
and the blossom’s on the bluff
and the coyote’s in the valley
with the weeping dove
and the painted rock’s a’rollin’
and the springs are flowing blue
and no harm is gonna come to you

oh I told you in a whisper
and the mountain made a sigh
and the river ran closer
and the crows asked why
well the law can give an answer
and a legend tell the truth
but no harm is gonna come to you

and no harm is gonna come
no harm is gonna come
no harm is gonna come
to you

can you feel that early sunrise
spreading over the lake
from the curtain of pine trees
to the tugboat’s wake
well if we get a move on
we can make it to the moon
and no harm is gonna come to you

I been spendin’ my weekends
hunkered down on the job
you been flying through the hours
tryin’ to make them stop
just a month or between us
till we’re in the same room
and no harm is gonna come to you

and no harm is gonna come
no harm is gonna come
no harm is gonna come
to you

oh I’d make you mine forever
but you ain’t mine to keep
babe the way from here is tricky
yeah the climb is steep
but I swore on a Bible
stolen from a musty church pew
that no harm is gonna come to you

and you worried I was leaving
and it hurt you when I did
you’ve every right to doubt me
not to trust me one bit
but we done a lotta growing
and this story ain’t through
and no harm is gonna come to you

and no harm is gonna come
no harm is gonna come
no harm is gonna come
to you
