From her 1980 album Never for Ever
Lyrics:
say good night-night
I tuck him in tight.
But things are not right.
What is this? An infant kiss
That sends my body tingling?
I've never fallen for
A little boy before.
No control.
Just a kid and just at school.
Back home they'd call me dirty.
His little hand is on my heart.
He's got me where it hurts me.
Knock, knock. Who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me.
All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.
Let go. Let go. Let go.
I cannot sit and let
Something happen I'll regret.
Ooh, he scares me!
There's a man behind those eyes.
I catch him when I'm bending.
Ooh, how he frightens me
When they whisper privately.
("Don't Let Go!")
Windy-wailey blows me.
Words of caress on their lips
That speak of adult love.
I want to smack but I hold back.
I only want to touch.
But I must stay and find a way
To stop before it gets too much!
All my barriers are going.
It's starting to show.
Let go. Let go. Let go.
(Don't let go!)

There are just a few things that can survive for 32 years and still excites like it's the first time you hear it. Kate's music definately does it for me. I used to have all her albums back in the eighties and I want them back. Every single one of them.

It's fascinating to me that she can write lyrics about "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" and then turn around and write about a child with "A man behind those eyes." I love her!

Actually the somng was inspired by the final scene f the 1961 film The Innocents, adapted from Henry James' Turn of the Screw. But it as a stunning song.

Contentious lyrics but such a hauntingly beautiful melody. How could anyone listen to her voice and not fall in love with her?
