Icarus Lyrics - The Crane Wives

Climb ye higher and higher and higher, 

'til you're far away and breathing cleaner air. 

Oh my brother, my brother, my brother, 

Who have you become in the wake of all that's happened here? 

They're burning down the orchard 

To the soil, to the soil, to the grave 

Spreading out the ashes of a love that only gave and gave. 

Climb ye higher and higher and higher, 

There's no room for all the hearts that will not stay 

Oh my brother, my brother, my brother, 

The horses are running, the horses are running away. 

Our hands are pulling everything apart, 

Fall apart, falling back 

Tell yourself there's no more need to lie - 

We don't have time for that. 

Ooo, it's okay, it's okay 

Ooo, my love will fall with grace 

Climb ye higher and higher and higher, 

Leave our footprints to be lost along the ground 

Oh my brother, my brother, my brother, 

There is nothing left to bring me back down. 

We're spreading out our ashes in the sun, in the sun, in the sun. 

Spreading out our ashes in the sun, in the sun, in the sun.
