Lyrics

You rode into my nightmare bathed in torchlight
I was stumbling through the ruins of a long forgotten track
Come on up in front, you said, but I cowered down in back
Just watching as the scenery sped by

I remember one december in the early morning gloom
When I finally laid my fear aside to build a road to you
Of feathers and bright paraffin, a pair of wings so true
And I clapped my hands as I flew into the sky

Chorus:
Icarus is falling
Icarus is falling
Icarus is falling?.down again

But my wings were waxen models, only actors on a stage
Of promethean design, but in the heat of molten rage
Icarus has fallen down
Headlong to his grave

Chorus

I know that we just flew too high?

Instrumental

When I asked you how you?d been, you only smiled
You said the rose that is the sweetest lies well off this beaten track
Come on up in front with me, and I?ll let you take me back

Icarus is falling
Icarus is falling
Icarus is falling?.for you again

Chorus and fade
