Benevolence lyrics

INANNA: Oh my lonely wild-growing tree
Your roots are strong, but, what about me?
Homeless, hopeless, how could this be?
Lost without my love, Dumuzi

Oh my lonely wild-growing tree
How I long for a palace by the sea
A temple of stone that moves the sky
Or I fear that my broken heart will die....

Oh, I`m feeling lost inside
Oh, I`ve got no place to hide
Oh, I can`t forget their cruelty
Or the way they`ve taken my love from me

How could I be so blind
Fall for their tricks this time?

If I could have a place to call my own
Across the world I would not have to roam
To find the things that make me feel I have some worth
Like you, I`d plant myself firmly in the earth

ANU: My dear Inanna, I`ve heard your cries
They fill the clouds with tears that fall down from the skies
It`s good to see you safe, but not in all this pain
Don`t you understand, it`s good to have you back again

INANNA: But what is life, my god, Anu our king
Without Dumuzi? My heart no longer sings
And I have nowhere to lay my head
Those that hate me have taken my golden bed

ANU: My great-great-granddaughter, do not despair
Brush the twigs and leaves out of your hair
A temple you shall have, with stones that touch the sky
For it hurts me so, to see you cry
