Lily [Director’s Cut] Lyrics

[Intro: Lily Cornford]
"Oh thou, who gives 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"

[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
Well I said, "Lily, oh, Lily I don't feel safe
I feel like life has blown a great big hole through me"

[Pre-Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
And she said, "Child
You must protect yourself
You must protect yourself
I'll show you how with fire"

[Chorus: Kate Bush]
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
I said, "Lily, oh, Lily I'm so afraid
I fear I am walking in the Vale of Darkness"

[Pre-Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
And she said, "Child
Take what I say
With a pinch of salt
And protect yourself with fire"

[Chorus: Kate Bush]
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Kate Bush]
Who's on the left?
Who's on the right?
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
Michael to my right
On the right
Uriel on my left side
Get the Devil behind us
[?]
In the circle of fire
Get them off to the right

[Chorus: Kate Bush]
Gabriel before me
Raphael behind me
On the right
Michael to my right
On the right, wow
Uriel on my left side
In the circle of fire

‘Lily’ was so powerful. What a track! When I heard it I looked at her and said, “My God, that’s a killer.” It was already recorded and I just came and added my vocals to it. She sat there showing me where she wanted things, but she was very open to suggestion as well, which is fantastic trait. A rea...
