PJ Harvey Lyrics

"A Child's Question, July"

Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows

Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows

Tell me who has licked the twoad?
What is hidden 'neath the road?
Tell me quick as I was born
Whivering like a downy horn.

Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows

Hail the hedge as it grows
Ask the hedge all it knows

Who's inneath The Ooser-Rod?
Horny devil? Goaty God?
What is God in ethly guise?
One or mampus giant eyes?
One or mampus giant eyes

Will the sweven's golden keys
Hanging in the aishy trees
Open gawly geates to death
Who hoards 'es answers in the eth?
Who hoards 'es answers
