Lyrics Icarus - White Hinterland

Icarus

Let the sun rain down on me
'Till covered in dew
All pink and new and reborn
Cut past the grey and countless forms
Condemned to kill or be conquered
Slender as a carp you are
Your skin defiantly silver and so sure
As for me, I am not so sure
I watch you skate like a knife beneath the water, ooh
Though I can see clearly ahead of me
I cannot stop at once I’m set a-spinning
Oh, what can it mean
Why must I always see the ending at the beginning?
Together going arm and arm
To meet our solitude, to meet it head on
I’ll meet you where the water’s warm
To meet my solitude, to meet it head on
Though I can see clearly ahead of me
I cannot stop it once I’m set a-spinning
What can it mean
Why must I always see the ending at the beginning?
