Ten Mile Stilts Lyrics - 40 Days - Wailin' Jennys

Imagine you're a girl on ten mile stilts 

You travel round the world, taking it all in 

You'll never touch the ground 

Is it a blessing or a curse 

And if you're too high to be found 

Are you lost or just rehearsed 

Got a heart that opens clear in this cool September dark 

It rests on treetop leaves 

And bursts its little sparks 

And sometimes it sings its songs 

And it lets its secrets out 

Except for one that sears inside 

That it cannot live without

But if I tell you will you take it 

Will you shine it up to me 

Can you be strong to let me go on 

And set this freedom free 

The stars are out tonight 

Up here they're ripe to hold 

But I have learned what comes to those who get too close 

I'm no Icarus in flight 

And I'm old enough to know 

That love is patient, but still unyielding 

If you leave it long enough it lets you go 

Photos 

But if I tell you wil you take it 

Will you shine it up to me 

Can you be strong to let me go on 

And set this freedom free
