Kate Bush: Trending quotes (page 7)

“All young gentle dreams drowning
In life's grief
Can you hang on to me?”

“Am I the cat that takes the bird?
To her the hunted, not the hunter.”

“I think about us diving
Diving off a rock, into another moment…”

“Touch me, hold me.
How my open arms ache!
Try to fall for me.”

“"This moment in time,"
(She said.)
It doesn't belong to you,"
(She said,)
It belongs to me,
And your little boy and your little girl,
And the one hand clapping:
Where on your palm is my little line,
When you're written in mine
As an old memory?”

“It's in the trees!
It's coming!”

Song of Summer in his hand.
Ooh, he's a moody old man.
…in…in…in his hand.
…in his hand.”

“There's a city, draped in net
Fisherman net
And in the half light, in the half light
It looks like every tower
Is covered in webs
Moving and glistening and rocking
It's babies in rhythm
As the spider of time is climbing
Over the ruins.”

“I know where I'm going.
But I don't want to leave.
I just have one problem
We're best friends, yeah?
We tied ourselves in knots
Doing cartwheels 'cross the floor
Just forget it alright.”

“Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.”

“My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.”

“Here come the Hills of Time”

“Oh! To be in love,
And never get out again.”

“I spend a lot of my time looking at blue,
The colour of my room and my mood…”

“My mother and her little brown jug
It held her milk
And now it holds our memories…”

“And I'd never know where you'd gonna be next
But I'd know that you'd surprise me.”

“Not one of us would dare to break
The silence
And, oh how we have longed
For something that would
Make us feel so…”

“How I'm moved.
How you move me
With your beauty's potency.”

“You're a coward, James.
You're running away from humanity.
You're running away from reality.
It won't be funny when they rat-a-tat-tat you down.”
