The Ninth Wave (Hounds of Love)
Written by Kate Bush
Little light shining,
Little light will guide them to me.
My
face is all lit up,
My face is all lit up.
If they find me racing
white horses,
They'll not take me for a buoy.
Let me be weak,
Let me sleep
And dream of sheep.
Oh, I'll wake up
To any sound of engines,
Ev'ry gull a
seeking craft.
I can't keep my eyes open--
Wish I had my radio.
I tune in to some friendly voices
Talking 'bout stupid things.
I can't be left to my imagination.
Let me be weak,
Let me sleep
And dream of sheep.
Ooh, their breath is warm
And they smell like sleep,
And
they say they take me home.
Like poppies heavy with seed
They
take me deeper and deeper.
