MAN WITH THE CHILD IN HIS EYES, THE
(Kate Bush)

Kate Bush
recorded 1978


I hear him before I go to sleep and focus on the day that's been.
I realize 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;
And suddenly I find myself listening to a man I've never known before,
Telling me about the sea, oh his love is to eternity!

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!

He's very understanding, and he's so aware of all my situations.
When I stay up late, he's always with me.
What I feel when I hesitate, oh I'm so worried about my love!
They say no, no it won't last forever!
And here I'm am again, my girl, wondering what on earth I am doing here.
Maybe he doesn't love me, I just took a trip on my love for him!

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!
