I have, although I should listen a bit closer before sending this:
	I caught a glimpse of a god, all shining and bright.
	We all have a dream...maybe.
	Mother, where are the angels? I'm scared of the changes.
It would never be "mommy" perhaps "mummy" the British way of spelling it.

I have:
	What's that?
	It's four, five, six, seven...

I think you mean:
	("You can't hear me.") [backwards]

The John Carder narrative is:
	Can't you see where memories are kept bright?
	Tripping on the water like a laughing girl.
	Time in her eyes is spawning past light,
	One when the ocean and the woman unfurled,
	Holding all the love that waits for you here.
	Catch us now for I am your future.
	A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land.
	Come over here to where When lingers,
	Waiting in this empty world,
	Waiting for Then, when the lifespray cools.
	For Now does ride in on the curl of the wave,
	And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools.
	We are of the going water and the gone.
	We are of water in the holy land of water
	And all that's to come runs in
	With the thrust on the strand."

Anyway it's all available at my Kate Bush lyrics page:

I do have some other stuff, probably of no interest!
eg I've put my MIDIs out there too, although someone had some trouble,
does everyone (who wants to try) have trouble?

PS Vickie, I've got a message from Wieland about contacting you to
gafferize the lyrics, a good idea, but I'll still keep my text only
page, I like the low bandwidth of lyrics, no images to flood the net.
