Songwriter: Kate Bush

Producer: David Gilmour Andrew Powell

[Verse 1]
I hear him before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there when I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love, 'til eternity

[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes

[Verse 2]
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
And when I stay up late
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever."

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And here I am again, my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him

[Chorus]
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes

Kate Bush

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.
