Sunset Lyrics by Kate Bush

Aerial

2005

[Verse 1]
Could be honeycomb
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey
Whose shadow, long and low
Is slipping out of wet clothes

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And changes into
The most beautiful
Iridescent blue

[Chorus 1]
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

[Verse 2]
Every sleepy light
Must say goodbye
To the day before it dies
In a sea of honey
A sky of honey

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Keep us close to your heart
So if the skies stay dark
We may live on in comets and stars

[Chorus 1]
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

[Chorus 1]
Who knows who wrote that song of Summer
That blackbirds sing at dusk?
This is a song of colour
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust
Then climb into bed and turn to dust

[Interlude]
Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!

[Chorus 2]
Oh, sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They go all the way up to the top of the night

[Chorus 2]
Oh, sing of summer and a sunset
And sing for us, so that we may remember
The day writes the words right across the sky
They go all the way up to the top of the night

[Outro]
They all go all the way up to the top of the night
