Lyrics Jig of Life (2018 Remaster) - Kate Bush

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-oh, let me live
She said, "Come on and let me live, girl"
She said, "Come on and let me live, girl" (come on, 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, "And come on, let me live, girl" (come on, let me live)
She said, "Come on and let me live, girl" (come on, 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 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
