Lyrics
Icarus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take my wings and take my hands
Put a weight round
Where I stand
And bind these ropes around my feet
If they`re not tied
I can`t concede
To never chase around the stars
Always the shadow
Of where you are
Only I`m as silent
As the sun
And as faithful
When I come
And I`d join you in your dreams
And if nothing comes between
I`ll meet you out
Across the milky way
Let some light fall in this cell
Give me a pen so I can tell
Of transcendent radiance half seen
From today to what might be
But you might wake me when you come
And if all this joy is done
I`ll come riding out
Across the milky way
And I`d join you in your dreams
And if nothing comes between
I`ll meet you out
Across the milky way
