B-side to "December Will Be Magic Again" single

Written by Kate Bush





Warm and soothing,

That's how I remember home.


Walking into arms


Through the back door.

Hearing voices I know well,


And long for.




Cold and boozy,


Our holiday in the Alps.


Sitting in the lobby,

Mostly smoking.


Choking on the woozy afternoon.




I'm reeling in the music


And I've only had a few.


And I'm afraid

By the way we grow old,


My darling.




Abrupt, too moody,


You making our party list.






I remember sulking

On the sofa.


For most of the winter


We were strangers.




Just one more


To ease the ache,

Before the night takes me.


When you stay asleep


On your side of the bed,

Don't look at me,


Don't look at you...




I'm reeling in the music

And I've only had a few.


And I'm afraid

By the way we grow old,
