A beautiful song that Kate recorded and released as the b-side of the 12'' version of "Cloudbusting". The song is a traditional Irish folk song with new lyrics written by her brother John Carder Bush.

The song is also available on the 1997 remastered version of the "Hounds Of Love" album and the "This Woman's Work" box set.

Lyrics:

When rainy nights are soft with tears,
And Autumn leaves are falling,
I hear his voice on tumbling waves
And no one there to hold me.
At evening's fall he watched me walk.
His heart was mine.
But my love was young, and felt
The world was not cruel, but kind.

Where Lagan's light fell on the hour,
I saw him far below me--
Just as the morning calmed the storm--
With no one there to hold him.
My loves have come, my loves have gone,
And nothing's left to warm me,
Save for a voice on the traveling wind,
And the glimpse of a face at morning.

  • This is one of her best performances, very beautiful, but I don't know why she changed the lyrics.

  • I think Kate should really record more traditional Irish songs. Her next album should be all Irish songs!

  • amazing 

  • Beautiful. Simply beautiful.

  • Holy Christ...only copping on that Kate Bush covered so many traditional Irish songs now. Always loved her but this stuff completely blows me away. Thanks for posting!!

  • so, so beauty~full!

  • This is amazing!

  • One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard...compares to Ave Maria from Hitman....

  • if you can say kate bush doesn't have an absolutely beautiful voice after this, you pretty much have no soul.
