Kashka from Baghdad

Kate Bush


Kashka from Baghdad

Lives in sin, they say,

With another man,

But no one knows who.



Old friends never call there.

Same wonder if life's

Inside at all--

If there's life inside at all.



But we know the lady who rents the room.

She catches them calling a la lune.



At night

They're seen

Laughing,

Loving.

They know

The way

To be

Happy.



They never go for walks.

Maybe it's because

The moon's not bright enough.

There's light in love, you see.



I watch their shadows,

Tall and slim,

In the window opposite.

I long to be with them.



'Cause when all the alley-cats come out,

I can hear music from Kashka's house.



At night

They're seen

Laughing,

Loving.

They know

The way

To be

Happy.



"Watching every night.*

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.



"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.



"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?

Let me in your love.



"Watching every night.

Don't you know they're seen?

Won't you let me laugh?"
