Tift Merritt - Icarus lyrics

I found him out in the field up there His clothes were torn, glue in his hair Feather down over everything On the ground, his broken wings I washed his hair and I held his bones I nursed the way he felt alone Keeping watch over his fitful sleep To Caught him falling out of dreams Oh Icarus There's a wing down in each of us Faster than the speed of sound inside Everything flies A rush of breath, a turn of touch The up and down arch of loving so much The way your heart will race and rise A tear handing in long, slow dive Oh Icarus There's a wing down in each of us Faster than the speed of sound inside Everything flies Night comes on in fits and stalls Twilight colors looking on As all the evening dust kicks up A small hope lands where doubt once was Oh Icarus There's a wing down in each of us Faster than the speed of sound inside Everything flies
