Closing the album, it is the singular piano-only track and is the only track to feature Kate as the sole performer credited. With a tempo of 88 bpm, it is the only Kate Bush song to feature a false star...
[Intro]
Sorry
[Verse 1]
Only you can do something about it
There's no-one there, my friend
Any better?
I might know what you mean when you say you fall apart
Aren't we all the same?
In and out of doubt
[Chorus 1]
I can see angels standing around you
They shimmer
Like mirrors in Summer
But you don't know it
[Verse 2]
And they will carry you o'er the walls
"If you need us, just call"
Rest your weary world in their hands
Lay your broken laugh at their feet
[Chorus 2]
I can see angels around you
They shimmer
Like mirrors in Summer
There's someone who's loved you
Forever
But you don't know it
You might feel it
And just not show it

I was going to take that off, so it just started with the top of the track, but a couple of friends said “No, no, no, don’t take it off!” Because it’s great because you actually get drawn into the song because you’re going “Oh, what happened there?”.
