[Refrain 1: Kate Bush and Bertie McIntosh]
Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey

[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
Whose shadow, long and low
Is slipping out of wet clothes?

[Pre-Chorus 1: Kate Bush and Chorus]
And changes into
The most beautiful
Iridescent blue

[Chorus: Kate Bush]
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To day before it dies

[Refrain 2: Kate Bush]
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey

[Pre-Chorus 2: Kate Bush and Chorus]
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies turn dark
We may live on in comets and stars

[Chorus: Kate Bush, Kate Bush and Bertie McIntosh]
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

[Interlude: Kate Bush and Bertie McIntosh]
Hup! Hup! Hup!

[Hook: Kate Bush, All]
Oh, sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They all go all the way up to the top of the night

Oh, sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They all go all the way up to the top of the night

[Outro: Kate Bush and Bertie McIntosh, All]
Hup! Hup! Hup!
They all go all the way up to the top of the night
Hup! Hup! Hup!
They all go all the way up to the top of the night

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
