I flew too close to the sun
Faster than a shooting gun
The sun took the bird left in me
I flew too close to the sun
The warmth made me numb
My wings burned and with it went my dreams
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
I flew too close to the sun
Faster than a shooting gun
The sun took the bird left in me
I flew too close to the sun
The warmth made me numb
My wings burned and with it went my dreams
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
I flew too close to the sun
So I sang that old holy song
To save me from that path I'd made for me
I flew too close to the sun
My wings crumbled and burned
I fell so fast there was nothing left to me
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
When I was high, so high
When I was high, so high
When I was high, so high
When I was high, so high
The other birds envied me
