Icarus - Tom Paxton

Can’t go home, I’d make 'em cry

Momma’s boy, he flew too high

Momma’s boy, he never learned

He flew so high his wings got burned

Stray dog be my friend today

Something good just slipped away

I flew high and you flew low

We’re Momma’s boys with miles to go

Momma, I bet can tell I’ve come down

Hundreds of miles away

Ah, Momma, I knew that I’d have to come down

But why must it happen today

Momma, I bet can tell I’ve come down

Hundreds of miles away

Ah, Momma, I knew that I’d have to come down

But why must it happen today

Can’t go home, I’d make 'em cry

Momma’s boy, he flew too high

Momma’s boy, he never learned

He flew so high his wings got burned

Momma’s boy, he never learned

He flew so high his wings got burned
