Icarus Lyrics

Sunlight casts a golden spell
Melts the winter snow
New life is born upon the wing
The migrants have returned

And you wonder what lies beyond
Beyond the edge of town
If you could just spread those giant wings
You'd fly beyond those clouds
Beyond those clouds

Man is like a flightless bird
Playing overtures for songs
And as the moon's wax and wane
Still reaches for the stars

But if you fly too high
You'll crash and burn
And your great, ungainly wings
Come crashing down to earth
Down to earth
Down to earth

Long time words are gathering
Along the talking wires
While you still sit there on your fence
Along the city mires

And you wonder what lies beyond
Beyond the edge of town
And if you could just lift those giant wings
You'd fly beyond those clouds

But if you fly too high
You'll crash and burn
And your great, ungainly wings
Come crashing down to earth
