Daedalus

Reach for the heights
There's no need to say goodbye
The sun will be your friend and guide
As you climb in to the sky

Don't look down
There's  no need to fear the sea
Your dreams will be your friend and guide
As they always were to me

And even though you'd be set free
I hoped that you'd come back to me

Dreams are melted
In the blink of an eye
A car crashes on the freeway
No reason why
Dreams are ruined
They turn to dust and die
As disease takes all before it
No reason why

I can't forget what happened
The day you learned to fly
When I wasn't there to guide you
And you fell out of the sky

And even now I still remember
All the pain that you went through
My love was your guide and comfort
But now you've fallen too

And even though you'd be set free
I hoped that you would stay with me

Dreams are melted
In the blink of an eye
A car crashes on the freeway
No reason why
Dreams are ruined
They turn to dust and die
As disease takes all before it
No reason why

Put away those wings
My days to soar like birds are gone
Put away my dreams for you
The died when the sun shone

Dreams are melted
In the blink of an eye
A car crashes on the freeway
No reason why
Dreams are ruined
They turn to dust and die
As disease takes all before it
No reason why
No reason why
