talis kimberley - icarus' sister lyrics
[verse:]
icarus’ sister — she’s a commonsense girl
she wears sensible clothes and she doesn’t ever talk to strangers
she’s never mentioned, in the history books
’cause she listened when daedalus warned her of the possible dangers
but i don’t for a minute believe that means she never had wings of her own
maybe she was too smart to be seen, and too smart to be brought down
[chorus:]
if her daddy ever saw her fly, if her daddy ever saw her fly
wouldn’t he be proud of her? wouldn’t he be proud?
if her daddy ever saw her fly, if her daddy ever saw her fly
wouldn’t he be proud of her? oh, wouldn’t he, wouldn’t he be proud?
oh, wouldn’t he, wouldn’t he be proud?
[verse:]
icarus’ sister, she’s a gap in the tale
we don’t know where she went, we can only make guesses about her
if anyone saw her when she put on her wings
she was too scared to talk, too in awe of her to try to prevent her
but i don’t for a minute believe she fell, ’cause she didn’t have icarus’ pride
she knew too much and she flew too well, and the weather was on her side
[chorus:]
if her daddy ever saw her fly, if her daddy ever saw her fly
wouldn’t he be proud of her? wouldn’t he be proud?
if her daddy ever saw her fly, if her daddy ever saw her fly
wouldn’t he be proud of her? wouldn’t he, wouldn’t he be proud?
oh, wouldn’t he, wouldn’t he be proud?…
[verse:]
oh, where did you leave your wings
when you hung them up at the end of the flight?
sure they’d be a little dusty now, poor things
nothing that a little care wouldn’t put right
oh, why did you lay them down?
did you fly until your bones were growing old?
when you had to give up your feathered crown
did you fling it at the sea the sun turned gold?…
[outro:]
did your daddy ever see you fly? did your daddy ever see you fly?
well, we’re still proud of you, still proud of you…
icarus’ sister — still proud of you…
