"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     Fadd9     Ebadd9/G     

Fadd9        
  Well I said

Gm    Fadd9      Ebadd9/G       
"Lily, Oh Lily I don't feel safe

Fadd9         Gm               Fadd9           
  I feel like life has blown a great big hole

        Ebadd9/G
Through me"

Fadd9
  And she said

Cm    Cm9            F/C       
"Child, you must protect yourself.

           Cm            
You can protect yourself,

Cm9       F/C                    
    I'll show you how with 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

This is my space


(Repeat chorus)
