[Intro: Kate Bush & Dr. Robert Bush]
"You see, I'm all grown up now."
He said:
"Just put your feet down child
'Cause you're all grown up now."
[Verse: Kate Bush]
Just like a photograph
I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up
[Pre-Chorus: Kate Bush]
But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into the fog
[Interlude]
[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
This love is big enough for the both of us
This love of yours is big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark, like the water was
The day I learned to swim
[Bridge: Kate Bush & Dr. Robert Bush]
He said:
"Just put your feet down, child"
"Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."
[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim?
[Outro Kate Bush & Dr. Robert Bush]
"'Cause you're all grown up now"
Just put your feet down, child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me
"You see, I'm all grown up now."
He said:
"Just put your feet down child
'Cause you're all grown up now."
[Verse: Kate Bush]
Just like a photograph
I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up
[Pre-Chorus: Kate Bush]
But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into the fog
[Interlude]
[Chorus 1: Kate Bush]
This love is big enough for the both of us
This love of yours is big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark, like the water was
The day I learned to swim
[Bridge: Kate Bush & Dr. Robert Bush]
He said:
"Just put your feet down, child"
"Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."
[Chorus 2: Kate Bush]
Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim?
[Outro Kate Bush & Dr. Robert Bush]
"'Cause you're all grown up now"
Just put your feet down, child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me
