The Fog Lyrics


You see, I'm all grown-up now
He said
"Just put your feet down child
'Cause you're all grown-up now."
Just like a photograph I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out
I pick it up
But I can't let you go
If I let you go
You slip into The Fog

This love was big enough for the both of us.
This love of yours,
Was big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark like the water was
The day I learned to swim.
He said "Just put your feet down child
Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."

Is this love big enough to watch over me
Big enough to let go of me?
Without hurting me
Like the day I learned to swim.
"'Cause you're all grown-up now
Just put your feet down child
The water is only waist high.
I'll let go of you gently
Then you can swim to me."

The Fog
  • Featuring classical violinist Nigel Kennedy and some seagull imitations, this song is about trying to grow up. "Growing up for most people is just trying to stop escaping, looking at things inside yourself rather than outside," Bush told NME. "But I'm not sure if people ever grow up properly, it's a continual process, growing in a positive sense."
  • Kate's physician father contributed the spoken word dialogue. Doctor Bush is also an accomplished pianist.
