Lily Lyrics - The Red Shoes - Kate Bush

Where have all good men gone, and where are all the gods? 

Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? 

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? 

Late at night, I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need 

I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night 

He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the fight 

I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light 

He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life 

Larger than life 

Somewhere after midnight, in my wildest fantasy 

Somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone reaching back for me 

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat 

It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet...

I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night 

He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be fresh from the fight 

I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light 

He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon, and he's gotta be larger than life 

I need a hero 

I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night 

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above 

Out where the lightning splits the sea 

I could swear there is someone, somewhere, watching me 

Through the wind and the chill and the rain 

And the storm and the flood 

I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
