  • 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 Writer/s: Kate Bush
