"Love and Anger"
The Sensual World
Written by Kate Bush
- It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me.
- It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it.
- It could take me all of my life,
- But it would only take a moment to
- Tell you what I'm feeling,
- But I don't know if I'm ready yet.
- You come walking into this room
- Like you're walking into my arms.
- What would I do without you?
-
- Take away the love and the anger,
- And a little piece of hope holding us together.
- Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
- Living in the gap between past and future.
- Take away the stone and the timber,
- And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
- If you can't tell your sister,
- If you can't tell a priest,
- 'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
- To anyone,
- Can you tell it to your heart?
- Can you find it in your heart
- To let go of these feelings
- Like a bell to a Southerly wind?
- We could be like two strings beating,
- Speaking in sympathy...
- What would we do without you?
- Two strings speak in sympathy.
-
- Take away the love and the anger,
- And a little piece of hope holding us together.
- Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
- Living in the gap between past and future.
- Take away the stone and the timber,
- And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
-
- We're building a house of the future together.
- (What would we do without you?)
- Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it,
- Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.
- Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it,
- Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future.
- You might not, not think so now,
- But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you.
