“Somewhere in between
The waxing and the waning wave
Somewhere in between
What the song and the silence says
Somewhere in between
The ticking and the tocking clock
Somewhere in a dream between
Sleep and waking up
Somewhere in between
Breathing out and breathing in
Like twilight is neither night nor morning”

Song lyrics, Aerial (2005), A Sky of Honey (Disc 2)

Because we're woman.”

Because we're woman.

And just like you I bet he can dance.”

Ooh, let me try!
Give me something to show
For my miserable life!
Give me something to take!
Would you break even my wings,
Just like a swallow?”

Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)

“If you go, I'll let the law know,
And they'll head you off when you touch the ground.
Ooh, please, don't go through with this.
I don't like the sound of it.”

“Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
Just like his wife when she was beautiful.”

Song lyrics, Never for Ever (1980)

Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me,
Like the day I learned to swim?”

And he received them with a strange delight.
Just like his wife
But how she was before the tears,
And how she was before the years flew by,
And how she was when she was beautiful.”

“A rubberband bouncing back to life
A rubberband bend the beat
If I could learn to give like a rubberband
I'd be back on my feet…”

Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)

“Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego.
Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.”

Song lyrics, Never for Ever (1980)

“Well we think you'd better wake up capt'n
There's something happen'n up ahead
We've never seen anything like it
We've never seen anything like it before.”

Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)

“This kicking here inside
Makes me leave you behind.
No more under the quilt
To keep you warm.
Your sister I was born.
You must lose me like an arrow,
Shot into the killer storm.”

Song lyrics, The Kick Inside (1978)
