PJ Harvey - I Inside the Old Year Dying

Prayer at the Gate

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

As childhood died the old year
Made the soldier reappear
The ash embowered night and day
As at the gate she prayed
"Wyman, am I worthy?
Speak your wordle to me"

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

And drisk shrouded in its cloak
Holway, river, brook and oak
All souls under Orlam's reign
Made passage for the born again

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

So look behind, look before
Life knocking at death's door
And teake towards your dark haired Lord
Forever bleeding with the word

So look before and look behind
Life and death, all intertwined
And teake towards your dark haired Lord
Forever bleeding with the word

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
