Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
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
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
(2x) 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
blowing through my ears
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
(3x) It's the Icarus wind
