The Man with the Child in His Eyes Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Lici 

Cover art for The Man with the Child in His Eyes lyrics by Kate Bush

This is basically a love song and a very early song of Kate's. It's about a man having two sides and not letting go of his inner child. And it's also about there being a deep understanding in a relationship, mainly because nobody understands the person Kate sings about, and the lines, "Nobody knows about my man . They think he's lost on some horizon." back that up to some extent. The lyrics explain a mutual understanding but at the same time, a secret fear of giving yourself completely to another human being. Simply beautiful.
