LYRICS FOR "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 be my mother when everything's gone

And she will always carry on
Something is lost but something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings 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 but something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings change, some stay the same

She will always carry on
Something is lost but something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings 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 be my mother when everything's gone

And she will always carry on
Something is lost but something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings change, some stay the same

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

And she will always carry on
Something is lost but something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Somethings change, some stay the same
