Lyrics

I hear the pads beat, loud as drums
I know he's coming, let him come

Let the big big rabbit come out
Let the big big rabbit come down
Let him cast his shadow on the bright face of our little house
Let him dance through the garden
Let him come

It's getting darker, as the sky grows colder
And I feel your hand on my naked shoulder
Praise God I know you're with me, I know you're here
I can feel you breathing, I know you're near me okay

Let the big big rabbit come out
Let the big big rabbit come down
Let him cast his shadow on the bright face of our little house
Let him dance through the garden
Let him come

• "To me a number of the old songs seem very silly and dumb, but I'm going to play one of those anyway, 'cause that's the one I've been thinking about the entire solo set." -- 2022-04-29 - Ventura Music Hall - Ventura, CA
