The Big Sky

About The Big Sky

"The Big Sky" is a song by English singer-songwriter Kate Bush. Released in 1986, it was the fourth and final single to be released from her No. 1 album Hounds of Love. The single became another Top 40 hit for Bush, peaking at No. 37 in the UK singles chart. The 7" single was released as the "Special Single Mix," which includes a different intro. This version appears as a B-side on the 1994 CD single "The Red Shoes." The 12" single includes an extended version of "The Big Sky" called the "Meteorological Mix". The song is about remembering some of the simple pleasures enjoyed as children that most no longer find the time for, such as spending the afternoon looking at the sky, watching the clouds take on shapes. The B-side is a song called "Not This Time". The 12" single includes an additional B-side, "The Morning Fog," a track on the Hounds of Love album. The music video was directed by Bush herself. In 1987, "The Big Sky" was nominated for Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards. more »

They look down 
At the ground
Missing 
But I never go in now

I'm looking at the big sky 
I'm looking at the big sky now 
I'm looking at the big sky 
You never really understood me 
You never really tried

That cloud, that cloud
Looks like Ireland 
C'mon and blow it a kiss now
But quick

'Cause its changing in the big sky 
Its changing in the big sky now 
Were looking at the big sky 
You never understood me 
You never really tried 

This cloud, this cloud
Says Noah
C'mon and build me an ark 
And if you're coming, jump
'Cause were leaving with the big sky 
Were leaving with the big sky
Were leaving with the big sky
Were looking at the  
Were looking at the 
And we pause for the jets 
Hup, hup, in the big sky

Were leaving with the big sky 
You want my reply? 
What was the question? 
I was looking at the big sky

Were looking at the  
Tell 'em, sisters
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky

Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
Rolling over like a great big cloud
Rolling over with the big sky
