You never dreamt
That things could get any better
Or life was good
Or got it together
You smoked and slept
And stayed in your room
Head on the pillow
Asleep till noon It came as some surprise
As Icarus I saw you rise
But heaven gave you wings
That never burned But you could be high
As you could feel
High as you could feel I almost feel blue
You never left me a message
I wrote you a letter
But where to address it
You found your wings
And then you flew
To greater things
You always knew It came as some surprise
As Icarus I saw you rise
But heaven gave you wings
That never burned But you could be high
As you could feel
High as you could feel And years have been kind
And times you never regret it
In every phase
You're first to get in it
In endless seas
You've had your catch
A smiling sun
Your perfect match It came as some surprise
As Icarus I saw you rise
And heaven gave you wings
That never burned
It came as some surprise
As Icarus I saw you rise
But heaven gave you wings
That never burned But you could be high
As you could feel
High as you could feel
