Testo di Daedalus

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 bear the wind sing A song that's too perfect for words But son please keep a steady wing Yyou know you're the only one who means anything to me Steer clear of the sun or you'll find yourself in the sea Now safely away, I let out cry Tthat we'll make the mainland by noon But Icarus climbs higher still in the sky And maybe I've spoken too soon Son please keep a steady wing Yyou know you're the only one who means anything to me Steer clear of the sun or you'll find yourself in the sea Son, won't you look at your wings? They are 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
