Kate Bush - The Man With The Child In His Eyes

An incredibly beautiful song from her first album "The Kick Inside". This was also her second single.

Kate started writing this song when she was 12 years old and finished it when she was 14. She recorded it in 1975 together with "The Saxophone Song".

If you wonder what the song is about, please read here:

Lyrics:

I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been.
I realise he's there,
When I turn the light off and turn over.

Nobody knows about my man.
They think he's lost on some horizon.
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before,

Telling me about the sea,
All his love, 'til eternity.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

He's very understanding,
And he's so aware of all my situations.
And when I stay up late,
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate.

Oh, I'm so worried about my love.
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."
And here I am again, my girl,
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here.
Maybe he doesn't love me.
I just took a trip on my love for him.

Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.
Ooh, he's here again,
The man with the child in his eyes.

I don't care if people think Kate Bush is weird, I think she's beautiful and talented. She wrote this song just as a teenager, that's more than what any modern artist can do. Her voice is so angelic, soft yet powerful. Natural beauty.

Woah Tori and Alanis ripped off this fetal position pose in their album art.

Seven people somehow lost the child in their eyes... I pity them...

[fabulousgerro661]

Beautiful and a good song too.

@parstark I would have to respectfully disagree with that statement basically every song on the kick inside was amazing and wow is one of her greatest songs in my opinion.

Probably the best female songwriter this country has produced in the last 40 years. A very unique talent.
