[Verse 1]
Little light shining
Little light will guide them to me
My face is all lit up
My face is all lit up

[Chorus 1]
If they find me racing white horses
They'll not take me for a buoy
Let me be weak, let me sleep
And dream of sheep

[Interlude: Sample & Hannah Bush]
"Attention shipping information in sea areas...Bell Rock, Tiree, Cromaty, gale east...Malin, Sellafield…"
"Come here with me now"

[Verse 2]
Ooh, I'll wake up to any sound of engines
Every gull a seeking craft
I can't keep my eyes open
Wish I had my radio

[Chorus 2]
I'd tune into some friendly voices
Talking 'bout stupid things
I can't be left to my imagination
Let me be weak, let me sleep
And dream of sheep

[Outro]
Ooh, their breath is warm
And they smell like sleep
And they say they take me home
Like poppies, heavy with seed
They take me deeper and deeper

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.
