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

And 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

Keep beckoning to me from behind that closed door

The maid and the mother and the crone that'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

And 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

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

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

And 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

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

And 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
