The Kick Inside

I've pulled down my lace and the chintz
Oh, do you know you have the face of a genius?
I'll send your love to Zeus
Oh, by the time you read this
I'll be well in touch
I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment, for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it
This kicking here inside
Makes me leave you behind
No more under the quilt
To keep you warm
Your sister I was born
You must lose me like an arrow
Shot into the killer storm
You and me on the bobbing knee
Didn't we cry at that old mythology he'd read!
I will come home again, but not until
The sun and the moon meet on yon hill
I'm giving it all in a moment or two
I'm giving it all in a moment, for you
I'm giving it all, giving it, giving it
This kicking here inside
Makes me leave you behind
No more under the quilt
To keep you warm
Your sister I was born
You must lose me like an arrow
Shot into the killer storm
