KATE BUSH - Jig of Life lyrics

rate me

Helloold lady.

I know your face well.

I know it well.

She says

"ooh-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!

I'll be sitting in your mirror.

Now is the place where the crossroads meet.

Will you look into the future?

"nevernever say goodbye

To my part of your life.

Nonononono!

Ohohoh

"let me live!"

She said.

"c'mon and let me livegirl!"

She said

"c'mon and let me livegirl!"

("c'mon and let me live!")

"this moment in time

(she said.)

It doesn't belong to you,

(she said)

It belongs to me

"and to your little boy and to your little girl

And the one hand clapping:

Where on your palm is my little line

When you're written in mine

As an old memory?

Oohna-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-

"nevernever say goodbye

To my part of your life.

Oh nonononono!

Nevernevernever!

Nevernever let me go!"

She said

"c'mon and let me livegirl!'

("c'mon and let me live!")

She said

"c'mon and let me livegirl!"

("c'mon and let me live!")

I put this

Moment..............................................here.

I put this moment.........................here.

I put this moment--

"over here!

"over here!

Can't you see where memories are kept bright?

Tripping on the water like a laughing girl.

Time in her eyes is spawning past life

One with the ocean and the woman unfurled

Holding all the love that waits for you here.

Catch us now for I am your future.

A kiss on the wind and we'll make the land.

Come over here to where when lingers

Waiting in this empty world

Waiting for thenwhen the lifespray cools.

For now does ride in on the curl of the wave

And you will dance with me in the sunlit pools.

We are of the going water and the gone.

We are of water in the holy land of water

And all that's to come runs in

With the thrust on the strand."
