Jig of Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hello, old lady I know your face well I know it well, she says "Ooh, na-na, n-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?" [Chorus] "Never, never say goodbye To my part of your life" No, no, no, no-no 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) [Verse 2] "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-n— [Chorus] "Never, never say goodbye To my part of your life Oh no, no, no, no, no Oh, 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) [Instrumental Break] [Bridge: Kate Bush & John Carder Bush] I put this moment here I put this moment here I put this moment Over here Over here [Outro: John Carder Bush] 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 life spray 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
