"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"


Gm     F9     Eb9/G     

F9        
  Well I said

Gm    F9      Eb9/G       
"Lily, Oh Lily I don't feel safe

F9         Gm               F9           
  I feel like life has blown a great big hole

        Eb9/G
Through me"

F9
  And she said

Cm    Cm9            F       
"Child, you must protect yourself.

           Cm            
You can protect yourself,

Cm9       F                    
    I'll show you how with fire"

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

This is my space
