Misty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Roll his body
Give him eyes
Make him smile for me
Give him life
My hand is bleeding
I run back inside
[Verse 2]
I turn off the light
Switch on a starry night
My window flies open
My bedroom fills with falling snow
Should be a dream, but I'm not sleepy
I see his snowy white face, but I'm not afraid
He lies down beside me
[Verse 3]
So cold next to me
I can feel him melting in my hand
Melting, in my hand
[Verse 4]
He won't speak to me
His crooked mouth is full of dead leaves
Full of dead leaves
Bits of twisted branches and frozen garden
Crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn
He is dissolving, dissolving before me
And dawn will come soon
[Verse 5]
What kind of spirit is this?
Our one and only tryst
His breath all misty
And when I kiss his ice-cream lips
And his creamy skin
His snowy white arms surround me
[Verse 6]
So cold next to me
I can feel him melting in my hand, melting
Melting, in my hand
[Verse 7]
Sunday morning
I can't find him
The sheets are soaking
And on my pillow
Dead leaves
Bits of twisted branches and frozen garden
Crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn
[Verse 8]
I can't find him
Misty...
Oh, please, can you help me?
He must be somewhere
Open window closing
Oh but wait, it's still snowing
If you're out there
I'm coming out on the ledge
I'm going out on the ledge

What did Kate Bush say about "Misty"?
The thing about that song, aside from having sort of unusual subject matter, is that it’s a very long song — it’s the longest song on the album. I think it runs about 14 minutes. It wasn’t even that I set out to write a song that long, but I was trying to explore the idea of working with longer song...
Why would Kate Bush write a song about someone having sex with a snowman?
This is actually not the first time that Kate has sung about sex. In fact, her debut album has plenty of references to and at least one song dedicated to sexual encounters.
Sex is an incredibly passionate – and popular – way people interact with one another and can be result of a highly powerful em...
