Hymn to Her

Let me inside you
Into your room
I've heard it's lined with the things you don't show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
I've been your lover from the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter when the moon becomes round
You'll be my mother when everything's gone

She will always carry on
Something is lost, something is found
And they will keep on speaking her name
Some things change, some stay the same

Keep beckoning to me
From behind that closed door
The maid and the mother and the crone's grown old
I hear your voice coming out of that hole
I listen to you, and I want some more
I listen to you, and I want some more

She will always carry on
Something is lost, something is found
And they will keep on speaking her name
Some things change, some stay the same

Let me inside you
Into your room
I've heard it's lined with the things you don't show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
I've been your lover from the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter when the moon becomes round
You'll be my mother when everything's gone

She will always carry on
Something is lost, something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change, some stay the same

They will always carry on
Something is lost, something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change, some stay the same
