Kate Bush Sunset

From her 2005 album Aerial

Lyrics:

Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Whose shadow, long and low
Is slipping out of wet clothes?
And changes into
The most beautiful
Iridescent blue

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To the day before it dies
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies stay dark
We may live on in
Comets and stars

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Chorus :
Oh sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They go all the way up to the top of the night

Its a strange phenomenon, unlike most songs, Kate's work always takes a a while to get into, but once I have, its easily the most mindblowing feeling I've ever gotten from music <3

I thought Kate Bush was boring. Thank you for proving me wrong Kate!

[JackFox13]

This is my absolute favorite work of art ever contrived. I just want to swim in this feeling until the day I meet my maker. What a beautiful picture Kate creates.
