Paroles de Three Queens

Sink into your mother's arms The womb that gave you birth Let her take your secrets back and lay them in the earth Let her take you in her arms Let her take you home Leave to her the gifts she gave of flesh and breath and bone Sink into your lover's arms The womb that made you whole Let her waters slake the thirst you carry in your soul Let her take you in her arms Let her take you home Leave to her the dreams you made of honours, steel, and stone Sink into your mother's arms Sink into your lover's arms Sink into your sister's arms Sink into your sister's arms The womb you need not know Let her fire consume the frame of what you were before Let her take you in her arms Let her take you home Leave to her the mysteries of maiden, mother, crone Sink into your mother's arms
