Lirieke: The Pretenders. 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
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
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But 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,
But 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 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
Some things change,
Some stay the same
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But 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,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
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
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
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But 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,
But 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 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
Some things change,
Some stay the same
She will always carry on
Something is lost,
But 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,
But something is found
They will keep on speaking her name
Some things change,
Some stay the same
