The Song of Solomon Lyrics

Lyric discussion by DameAutour 

Cover art for The Song of Solomon lyrics by Kate Bush

Great song. It's about The Song of Solomon, itself about a man's passionate love for a woman expressed through words, and her love which she gives him physically. "Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love" "give me your poetry in motion...and sing it with a kiss"

no words, no more "love", lay with me, "I'll come in a hurricane for you"

Isolde is a famous literary character, Juliet before Romeo and Juliet, the love of Tristan

Lily of the Valley and Rose of Sharon come from the KJV version of Song of Solomon 2:1,2; they're both beautiful flowers
