Icarus Wind

It's the Icarus wind, it's blowing in my eyes It's the Icarus wind, it's telling me those lies And its heart is like ice and its fingers are long And it knows just who'll be torn apart by that windsong It's the Icarus wind It's the Icarus wind, blowing through my hair It's the Icarus wind loosening the threads And, my God, it will stop you right there, dead in your tracks If you're just held together with hope and candle-wax It's the Icarus wind It's the Icarus wind And the higher it pulls me up, the hotter it gets It's the end of the dream around, mid fire and cigarettes It's the Icarus wind whispering in my ear It's the Icarus wind dusting away those tears Singing, baby the truth is that this won't hurt at all Soon there'll just be feathers and the quiet of the fall It's the Icarus wind It's the Icarus wind It's the Icarus wind
