Running Up That Hill

It takes a real effort puffing and panting all the way up that hill, no short walk every stride feels it just like clay Don't blame God, no I don't he chose my life just like this many have it worse than me at least I've that lingering kiss But is this fate or luck? your hurt goes real deep wish you could understand the way to you's real steep If only that yes could change think of the trouble I did cause you fell for me at first, yes you did I knew it in your eyes before that pause Running up that hill I'm worth it yes I am! feel that experience again you know that healing balm (This is writing in memory of one of my fav music stars of the 70s and beyond, based this on a fav song ' Running Up That Hill'. Here's the video of Kate Bush's ' Running Up That Hill', for those of you that haven't hear of this lovely lady who hit no 1 with 'Wuthering Heights' and had hits with other great songs in the years '75-88' but has recorded music even up to recent years.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp43OdtAAkM

Haven't listed to it as yet Gordon, but will later this evening - it seems you enjoy your music as you have mentioned it several times - good music is very therapeutic and soothing. Well penned my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
