Kate Bush: 'Sunset'

Not one for being particularly direct about my feelings I'm taking to expressing it via a song. This may be cryptic to everyone else, but it pretty much sums up my feelings right now!

Written and produced by Kate Bush (from the album Aerial)

Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Whose shadow,
long and low
Is slipping out of wet clothes?
And changes into
The most beautiful Iridescent blue

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To day before it dies

In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies turn dark
We may live on in Comets and stars

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Chorus :Oh sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They go all the way up to the top of the night
