Icare by Iris Rijnsewijn Lyrics

Up we go, into the sky
Not too low, and not too high
Is what you told me to do
I should've listened to you

But, dad, I'm young
I don't know much
And I had fun
So I went up and up and up
Until gravity made me stop
'Cause the sun melted the wings off my arms
And made me drop

And I can still hear you crying out my name
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, for causing you this pain
And I would not have done the same if gods would let me
But for now I'm falling to the sea

Locked on Crete, caught by crown
You made wings to flee, they were shoulder bound
We flew, I knew, should have followed you
But I tumbled to the ocean's bluе
And I can still hear you crying out my name
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, for causing you this pain
And I would not have donе the same if gods would let me
But for now I'm falling to the sea
