This song was part 5 of “The Ninth Wave“ on the “Hounds Of Love“ album from 1985. The music is traditional folk tunes collected by her brother Paddy Bush. Kate wrote the lyrics for the first part of the song, while the poem in the last part was read and written by her oldest brother John Carder Bush.
The paintings of Kate in the video are by Herb Leonhard.
Lyrics:
Hello, old 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?
“Never, never say goodbye
To my part of your life.
No, no, no, no, no!
Oh, oh, oh,
“Let me live!“
She said.
“C’mon and let me live, girl!“
She said,
“C’mon and let me live, girl!“
(“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?
Ooh, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-
“Never, never say goodbye
To my part of your life.
Oh no, no, no, no, no!
Never, never, never!
Never, never let me go!“
She said,
“C’mon and let me live, girl!’
(“C’mon and let me live!“)
She said,
“C’mon and let me live, girl!“
(“C’mon and let me live!“)
I put this .
I put this .
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 Then, when 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.“
“Columbia now nine times the speed of sound.“
“Roger that, Dan, I’ve got a solid TACAN
locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three.“
“The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned
trajectory are all one line on the block“
“Roger (?) your (?) block (?) decoded (? recorded?)“
