“Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming and weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb right over the top?”

Kate Bush (1958) British recording artist; singer, songwriter, musician and record producer

The winding road slants downward many a time;
Yet each descent is higher than the last.”
