Kate Bush - Under The Ivy

A beautiful song that Kate recorded and released as the b-side of "Running Up That Hill".

Lyrics:

It wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it
To tell you where we'll meet
This little girl inside me
Is retreating to her favorite place

Go into the garden
Go under the ivy
Under the leaves
Away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
For me

I sit here in the thunder
The green on the grey
I feel it all around me
And it's not easy for me
To give away
A secret -- it's not safe

But go into the garden
Go under the ivy
Under the leaves
Away from the party
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
For me

Go into the garden
Go under the ivy
Go under the leaves for me
Go right to the rose
Go right to the white rose
I'll be waiting for you

It wouldn't take me long
To tell you how to find it...

@2Shaymcn Thank you! I'm glad that you like it.

Thankyou so much for your beautiful rendition of this enchanted song. This is probably meant to be a tribute to Kate and you made it wonderfully. This song is about something positive and full of life, remembering the time when we found out what love was "under the ivy". Thankyou one again for your rendition full of love.

@hoeksteen69 You're welcome!

Thanks for all these great songs/videos. Do you happen to know where I can find a video of Kate I vaguely remember from long ago where she's sitting in a high back chair and sort of rubbing the back of it above her head. It made my socks go up and down at the time, but maybe I imagined the whole thing.

[Symphonyofflowers]

@lathekin1 Yes, that must be the video for "December Will Be Magic Again", from the ABBA Snowtime Special in 1979. Just search for "kate bush december will be magic again" and you should find it.

Kate is the best songwriter / female voice. Forever.

Beautiful. Thank you.

I wonder why this wasn't included on the album. It's such a powerful and moving piece of music. It sounds crazy, but I swear someone I love speaks to me from beyond the grave through this song... a song written around the time we both were born, that I hadn't discovered until after he was dead. I hope there's something resembling a white rose on the other side...
