Icarus Wind - Thea Gilmore

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
