All the Love Lyrics by Kate Bush

The Dreaming

1982

[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine
They kiss me with tears
They hadn't been near me for years
Say, why do it now
When I won't be around, I'm going out?
[Pre-Chorus 1: Richard Thornton]
We needed you
To love us too
We wait for your move
[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen
I didn't want to let them see me weep
I didn't want to let them see me weak
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone
[Pre-Chorus 2: Richard Thornton]
I needed you
To love me too
I wait for your move
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
All the love, all the love
All the love we should have given
All the love, all the love
All the love you could have given
All the love, all the love
All the love
Run for the hills
[Verse 3: Kate Bush]
The next time I dedicate
My life's work to the friends I make
I give them what they want to hear
They think I'm up to something weird
And up rears the head of fear in me
So now when they ring
I get my machine to let them in
[Pre-Chorus 2: Richard Thornton]
I needed you
To love me too
I wait for your move
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
All the love, all the love
All the love you should have given
All the love, all the love
All the love we could have given
All the love, all the love
All the love
[Interlude]
“Take care, tootle-ooh”
“Bye bye”
“Bye for now then”
“Bye”
“Later”
“Bye”
“Cheerio”
“Bye”
“Bye bye”
“Bye”
“Stay healthy”
“Bye-ee”
“Bye”
“Bye”
“Cheers”
“See ya, love”
“Bye”
“Goodbye”
“I'll see ya, love”
“Goodnight”
[Outro: Richard Thornton]
We needed you
To love us too
We wait for your move
