Hounds of Love - Kate Bush

I hear the baying of the hounds In the distance, I hear them devouring Pest ridden jackals of the earth Diabolical beasts and roaming the forests In wait and constant protectors Calling you to sit by his side Your self loathing image in his flesh A revelation upon which you linger His words are flies Swarming towards the true insects Feasting on buried dreams And spreading decay upon your skin His eyes spew forth a darkness That cut through and paralyze Casts light upon your secrets Forced to confront your enemies His mouth is a vortex Sucking you into it's pandemonium Fools you with a helping hand of ashes Reached out in false dismay His body is a country The cities lay dead and beyond despair Friends turned enemies unable to come clean In a rising fog of reeking death Everything you believed is a lie Everyone you loved is a death burden So you take comfort in him And you are receptive to stark wishes No longer struggling to declare your stand You would inflict no harm to others They are unaware of you And in a loop of futile events You are everything, they are nothing Drown in the deep mire With past desires Beneath the mire Drown desire now with you Drown in the deep mire With past desires Beneath the mire Drown desire now with you Lined up verses on dead skin "The tainted lips of the stranger Resting upon hers" And I embrace bereavement Everything beloved is shattered anyway I would devote myself to anyone I would accept any flaws I am too weak to resist Tension vibrating with horror Finding the outcast in my eyes Pushing nerves on a puppet Endless poison in my veins Clean intent now tainted with death And so, cold touch now inhumane Every waking hour Awaiting a reverie to unfold And now they are calling me Louder by the minute The baying of the hounds Calling me back to my home

When it all comes down When it all falls out Heaven When it all comes down When it all falls out Heaven I lay my body down To listen to the sound I let my heart peek out To listen to the sound When it all comes down When it all falls out Heaven When it all comes down When it all falls out Heaven I lay my body down To listen to the sound I let my heart peek out To feed it to the hounds When it all comes down When it all falls out Heaven When it all comes down When it all falls out Heaven I lay my body down To listen to the sound I let my heart peek out To feed it to the hounds

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gathered 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me Radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road I get the feeling I should have been home yesterday, yesterday Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, oh, mountain mama Take me home, oh, them country roads Country roads, take me home To the place where I belong West Virginia, oh, mountain mama Take me home, oh, them country roads Oh, take me home, them country roads Oh, take me home, country roads

You are the treasure that I seeked You were close to me yet I did not know The love that I seeked for many years Was right beside Me Yet I couldn't feel it When I close my eyes (My eyes) I see you coming to me My girl I didn't know that it was our hearts speaking To each other When the breeze of love (Of love) Flow you to me my Girl (My Angel) I thought it was an everlasting love But it hurts me to see you go You made me cry When you said you were going I cried When you left me alone I wish...(I wish) I could hold you close Once again to my heart You made me cry When you said you were going (When you were leaving) I cried When you left me alone I wish... (I wish) I could hold you close Once again to my heart ... oooh You are the treasure that I seeked You were close to me and I did not Know The love that I seeked for many years Was right Beside me Yet I couldn't feel it When I close my eyes (My eyes) I see you coming to me My girl I didn't know that it was our hearts speaking To each other When the breeze of love (Of love) Flow you to me my girl (My Angel) I thought it was an everlasting love But it hurts me to see you go You Made me cry When you said you were going I cried...(i cried) When you left me alone I wish...(I wish) I could hold you close Once again to my heart You made me cry When you said you were going (When you were leaving) I cried When you left me alone I wish...
