Frogtoon Music - Song Info: And Dream of Sheep

Kate-Bush - This Woman's Work: Anthology 1978-1990

Kate Bush Explained In An Article Published In The Garden "The Song Is About Someone Going To Sleep In The Water Where They're Alone And Frightened. And They Want To Go To Sleep To Get Away From The Situation. But At The Same Time It's Dangerous To Go To Sleep In Water You Could Drown." The Spoken "Come Here With Me Now" Line Is Said By Kate Bush's Mother. The Singer Explained "When I Was Little And I'd Had A Bad Dream I'd Go Into My Parents' Bedroom Round To My Mother's Side Of The Bed. She'd Be Asleep And I Wouldn't Want To Wake Her So I'd Stand There And Wait For Her To Sense My Presence And Wake Up. She Always Did Within Minutes And Sometimes I'd Frighten Her--Standing There Still In The Darkness In My Nightdress. I'd Say 'I've Had A Bad Dream ' And She'd Lift Bedclothes And Say Something Like 'Come Here With Me Now.' It's My Mother Saying This Line In The Track And I Briefed Her On The Ideas Behind It Before She Said It."
