Story Behind The Song
Had written a song about Stephen Hawking and thought I should write one about a woman scientist. I live in Southern California, and Kate Hutton seemed a natural.

Lyrics
Kate Hutton, Kate Hutton, please give me a sign
The earth is still shaking, but say you'll be mine
I wait in my bedroom to see you appear
Just echo the words that allay all my fear
Kate Hutton, Kate Hutton, it's such a grand scale
Somewhere between Richter and thunder and hail
The way that your voice rings out over the night
The dogs are all freaked but I know it's all right
Kate Hutton, Kate Hutton, they think it's a game
The way that I need you, there's no one the same
You show me your bravery when others have gone
I sleep the night through when I have you along
Kate Hutton, Kate Hutton, are you ever scared?
Do doorjambs and tables see that you're prepared?
Or can you sense love is a seismic affair
Kate Hutton, Kate Hutton, just show me you care
Kate Hutton, Kate Hutton, I like your grey hair
