stranded at the moonbase

Kate Bush

"Stranded At The Moonbase"
(Keeping Me Waiting)

1 - A long way up in light-years,
2 - Just a pinpoint in space,
3 - In a century of planetary storms,
4 - Stranded at the moonbase,

5 - The air is getting low.
6 - The air is getting low.

7 - Looking out at the roof-window,
8 - I've seen many strange things,
9 - From shooting stars to Stars 'n' Stripes--
10 - Thought I'd caught a glimpse of golden wings.

11 - The air is getting low,
12 - The air is getting low,
13 - The air is getting low,
14 - The air is getting low.

15 - I got the vision of a big white dove.
16 - I've heard the creaking of the pearly gates above.
17 - I'm wond'ring why the big white dove
18 - Is keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
19 - Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
20 - Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting.

21 - Looking way down below me,
22 - The worlds are all awhirl-whirly.
23 - Won't you come along beside?
24 - This place waits for company.0

25 - The air is getting low.
26 - The air is getting low.

27 - I leave my limbs behind me.
28 - As I'm being lifted
29 - Out into the--into the
30 - Spiritual boom-boom abyss.

31 - The air is getting low.
32 - The air is getting low.
33 - The air is getting low.
34 - The air is getting low.

35 - I got the vision of a big white dove.
36 - I've heard the creaking of the pearly gates above.
37 - I'm wond'ring why the big white dove
38 - Is keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
39 - Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting,
40 - Keeping me waiting, keeping me waiting.
