dangerous compassions

I call you / from the comet's cradle

The Whole Story

I found this Kate Bush cd that I love that I hadn't heard in years because I lost it.  But E found it when he was going through stuff when he moved.  I remember I first heard Kate Bush when I worked for the software store in Santa Barbara, and my coworker T would play this cd.  My favorite part is "I can't hide you / from the government."

Cloudbursting by Kate Bush

I still dream of Orgonon
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me


You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it
And forget


But every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen


On top of the world
Looking over the edge
You could see them coming
You looked too small
In their big, black car
To be a threat to the men in power


I hid my yo-yo
In the garden
I can't hide you
From the government
Oh, God, Daddy
I won't forget


'Cause every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen


The sun's coming out
Your son's coming out
