Hymn to Her

 I've loved the Pretenders since I was a kid, in the '70s {tho at that time i didn't "get" the lyrics, but i loved the beat to move to}.  Chrissy Hynde is just a.maze.ing.  I like so many of their songs, it'd be impossible to pick one favorite.  So I won't.  This is but one of my faves.

~~Hymn to Her~~
Let me inside you
Into your room
Ive heard its lined
With the things you dont show
Lay me beside you
Down on the floor
Ive been your lover
From the womb to the tomb
I dress as your daughter
When the moon becomes round
You be my mother
When everythings 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 thats 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
Some things change
Some stay the same
