And Dream Of Sheep

About And Dream Of Sheep

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. .
