Atlantis Lyrics

In that ocean.
Wide eyed and deeper in your gaze,
And bluer than the bright that's in the cave.

There is a city,
Came out from you, Atlantis
In ruins, sunken below the waves

But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.

The bluest city,
Covered in coral and coral,
On sea chests,
And sealed Jamaician tales.

There is nobody,
To count the soldiering meandering whales,
With a shoal of herring amongst the sails.

But in the city,
Where there is no one.
What's the point of being free, eh?
When there is nothing there to tie me down,
Oh, no more here.

There is the city Atlantis.

Cover art for Atlantis lyrics by Kate Bush

I can't believe nobody has commented on this yet, I know its quite an 'off the beaten track' song but its one of my favourites and I really hope that Kate will one day put all her hidden treasures like these on an album :) Its just so calm and serene sort of like the sea ... Atlantis ? Very cleverly done there Kate ;)
