Deep and Dark Like the Water Was

The Fog, by Kate Bush



You see, I'm all grown up now

He said
"Just put your feet down, child
'Cause you're all grown up now"

Just like a photograph
I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up

But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into the fog

This love was big enough for the both of us
This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark, like the water was
The day I learned to swim

He said
"Just put your feet down, child"

Just put your feet down, child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me

Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim

'Cause you're all grown up now

Just put your feet down, child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me

Love Love Love

"Faith is, above all, openess; an act of trust in the unknown." - Alan Watts


"Love is gonna to lead you by the hand...."


Mountain Goats, "Love Love Love"




King Saul fell on his sword
When it all went wrong
And Joseph's brother sold him down the river
For a song
And Sonny Liston rubbed some tiger balm in his glove
some things you do for money
and some you do for love love love

Raskalnikov felt sick
But he couldn't say why
When he saw his face reflected
In his victim's twinkling eye
Some things you'll do for money
And some you'll do for fun
But the things you do for love
Are gonna come back to you one by one

Love love is gonna lead you by the hand
Into a white and soundless place
Now we see things
As in a mirror dimly
Then we shall see each other
Face to face

And way out in Seattle
Young Kurt Cobain
Snuck out to the greenhouse
Put a bullet in his brain
Snakes in the grass beneath our feet
Rain in the clouds above
Some moments last forever
But some flare out with love love love
