"Under Ice"

The Ninth Wave (Hounds of Love)
Written by Kate Bush

It's wonderful.

Everywhere, so white.

The river has frozen over.

Not a soul on the ice.

Only me skating fast.

I'm speeding past trees,

Leaving little lines in the ice,

Splitting, splitting sound,

Silver heels spitting, spitting snow.

("Sonar says...[inaudible]...deep...[inaudible]")

There's something moving

Under, under the ice,

Moving under ice,

Through water,

Trying to get out of the cold water.

"It's me."

Something, someone--help them.

"It's me."
