Icarus Lyrics

Deacon Blue 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
