The Kick Inside

I've pulled down my lace and the chintz. 

Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius? 

I'll send your love to Zeus. 

Oh, by the time you read this, 

I'll be well in touch. 



I'm giving it all in a moment or two. 

I'm giving it all in a moment, for you. 

I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it. 

This kicking here inside 

Makes me leave you behind. 

No more under the quilt 

To keep you warm. 

Your sister I was born. 

You must lose me like an arrow, 

Shot into the killer storm. 



You and me on the bobbing knee. 

Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read! 

I will come home again, but not until 

The sun and the moon meet on yon hill. 



I'm giving it all in a moment or two. 

I'm giving it all in a moment, for you. 

I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it. 

This kicking here inside 

Makes me leave you behind. 

No more under the quilt 

To keep you warm. 

Your sister I was born. 

You must lose me like an arrow, 

Shot into the killer storm.
