SONG OF DEVASTATION NUMBER 24

SONG OF DEVASTATION NUMBER 24 THE VAMPIRES WIFE STUFF

Thank you, Susie for the ‘Stuff’ Page. Sometimes I think I find the sharing of it all just as important as the content, particularly in these nerve-wracking, divisive times. Please can you post Kate Bush’s song ‘Under the Ivy’ as a Song of Devastation? I think it really is… devastating. So, thanks and take care, Kirsty x

Dear Kirsty,

Thank you for this. You are right. What a beautiful and devastating song. I don’t know how I don’t know this song. It is a small, sad miracle that somehow passed me by. What a gorgeous lyric. Love Susie x


Under the Ivy

 

It wouldn't take me long

To tell you how to find it

To tell you where we'll meet

This little girl inside me

Is retreating to her favourite place

Go into the garden

Go under the ivy

Under the leaves

Away from the party

Go right to the rose

Go right to the white rose

(For me)

I sit here in the thunder

The green on the grey

I feel it all around me

And it's not easy for me

To give away a secret

It's not safe

But go into the garden

Go under the ivy

Under the leaves

Away from the party

Go right to the rose

Go right to the white rose

(For me)

It wouldn't take me long

To tell you how to find it
