"Warm and Soothing"


B-side to "December Will Be Magic
Again" single
Written by Kate Bush 



Record label   





 Warm and soothing, 


 That's how I remember home. 


 Walking into arms 


 Through the back door. 


 Hearing voices I know well, 


 And long for. 






 Cold and boozy, 


 Our holiday in the Alps. 


 Sitting in the lobby, 


 Mostly smoking. 


 Choking on the woozy afternoon. 






 I'm reeling in the music 


 And I've only had a few. 


 And I'm afraid 


 By the way we grow old, 


 My darling. 






 Abrupt, too moody, 


 You making our party list. 


 I remember sulking 


 On the sofa. 


 For most of the winter 


 We were strangers. 






 Just one more 


 To ease the ache, 


 Before the night takes me. 


 When you stay asleep 


 On your side of the bed, 


 Don't look at me, 


 Don't look at you... 






 I'm reeling in the music 


 And I've only had a few. 


 And I'm afraid 


 By the way we grow old, 


 My darling.
