If the wind turns If I hit a squall Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me I feel lighter than I have in so much time I've crossed the borderline of weightless One deep breath out from the sky I've reached a rarer height now That I can confirm All our weight is just a burden Offered to us by the world And though I burn How could I fall? When I am lifted by every word you say to me If anything could fall at all It's the world that falls away from me You have me floating like a feather on the sea While you're as heavy as the world That you hold your hands beneath Once I had wondered What was holding up the ground I can see that all along, love It was you all the way down Leave it now I am sky-bound If you need to, darling Lean your weight to me We'll float away But if we fall, I only pray Don't fall away from me I do not have wings, love I never will Soaring over a world you are carrying If these heights should bring my fall Let me be your own Icarian carrion If the wind turns If I hit a squall Allow the ground to find its brutal way to me If I should fall on that day I only pray Don't fall away from me
