Icarus

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
