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
