About the Artist
Lyrics
I stand on the cliffs with my son next to me This island, our prison, our home And everyday we look out at the sea This place is all he's ever known But I've got a plan and some wax and some string Some feathers I stole from the birds So we leap from the cliff and we hear the wind sing A song that's too perfect for words But son, please keep a steady wing You know you're the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun Or you'll find yourself in the sea Now safely away, I let out a cry That we'll make the mainland by noon But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky And maybe I've spoken too soon But son, please keep a steady wing You know you're the only one that means anything to me Steer clear of the sun Or you'll find yourself in the sea Won't you look at your wings? They're coming undone They're splitting at the seams Steer clear of the sun For once, won't you listen to me Oh gods, why is this happening to me? All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings Oh gods, why is this happening to me? All I wanted was a new life for my son to grow up free And now you took the only thing that meant anything to me I will never fly again, I will hang up my wings Oh gods!
