"It's in the trees!
It's coming!"

When I was a child:
Running in the night,
Afraid of what might be

Hiding in the dark,
Hiding in the street,
And of what was following me...

Now hounds of love are hunting.
I've always been a coward,
And I don't know what's good for me.

Here I go!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, someone!
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off,
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I found a fox
Caught by dogs.
He let me take him in my hands.

His little heart,
It beats so fast,
And I'm ashamed of running away

From nothing real--
I just can't deal with this,
But I'm still afraid to be there,

Among your hounds of love,
And feel your arms surround me.
I've always been a coward,
And never know what's good for me.

Oh, here I go!
Don't let me go!
Hold me down!
It's coming for me through the trees.
Help me, darling,
Help me, please!

Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water.

I don't know what's good for me.
I don't know what's good for me.
I need your love love love love love, yeah!
Your love!

Take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake!

Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need love love love love love, yeah!

Loved that cover when I bought in 85 and little did I know I'd be on my second Weimaraner in 2019 and totally in love with the breed.

Man Ray and Fay Ray on the cover and yeah, I knew Man Ray had passed

but he might have made a ghost appearance just to be photographed

with Kate...

Utterly sui generis.  One of the all-time greats.
One of the best albums of the 80s.
This song gives me chills. Amazing!

Get a clue with The Kate Bush Story (2014 BBC Documentary) Hear it from Elton John to John Lydon (Johnny Rotten). Like many unique artists, acclimation may be necessary with Kate.  
 
That documentary literally brought me to tears... she was and is a ridiculous talent.

I can't argue with that, still your comment makes no sense to me.

Weims of Love! If you've ever had one, you know what I'm talking about.

Finally some Kate Bush! Her voice raises curly, unwanted hair on my back.
