Icarus Wind
Thea Gilmore
from Recorded Delivery (2009)
Intro:   Gmaj7    D/F#    Em   Em(2x)
It's the Icarus Cadd9wind,
it's Dblowing in mEmy eyesEm  
It's the Icarus Cadd9wind,
it's Dtelling me those EmliesEm  
And its heart is like iGceD/F#  
its fingers are EmlongEm  
And it knows just Gwho'll be torn
D/F#apart by that windEmsongEm  
It's the Icarus Gmaj7windD/F#  Em  Em  
It's the Icarus Cadd9wind,
Dblowing through my EmhairEm  
It's the Icarus Cadd9wind
Dloosening the EmthreadsEm  
And, my God, it will Gstop you
right Dthere, dead in your EmtracksEm  
If you're just held toGgether
with Dhope and candle-EmwaxEm  
(2x)   It's the Icarus Gmaj7windD/F#  Em  Em  
And the higher it Gmaj7pulls me D/F#up, 
the hotter it EmgetsEm  
It's the end of the Gmaj7dream around mid Dfire
and cigarEmettesEm  
It's the Icarus Cadd9wind
Dblowing through my EmearsEm  
It's the Icarus Cadd9wind
Ddusting away those EmtearsEm  
Singing, baby the Gtruth is
that D/F#this won't hurt at EmallEm  
Soon there'll just be Gfeathers
and the D/F#quiet of the EmfallEm  
(3x)   It's the Icarus Gmaj7windD/F#  Em  Em
