"Lily"
By Kate Bush
From 1993's "The Red Shoes"


(Dialogue)
"Oh thou, who givest sustenance to the universe
From whom all things proceed
To whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disc of golden light
That we may know the truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to thy sacred feet"


G5     F5     Eb5     

F5        
  Well I said

G5    F5      Eb5       
"Lily, Oh Lily I don't feel safe

F5         G5               F5           
  I feel like life has blown a great big hole

        Eb5
Through me"

F5
  And she said

C5    C5            F5       
"Child, you must protect yourself.

           C5            
You can protect yourself,

C5       F5                    
    I'll show you how with fire"


G5     F5
Uh     Uh

Eb5      F5
Gabriel before me

G5     F5
Uh     Uh

Eb5     F5
Raphael behind me

G5            F5
Michael to my right

Eb5    F5     G5
Uriel on my left side

F5           
    In the circle of fire


(Repeat verse)
I said
"Lily, Oh Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Veil of Darkness"
And she said
"Child, take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"

(Repeat chorus)
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

C5      F5     C5     C5     F5
(Vocal scat)

This is my space


(Repeat chorus)
