Shades of Icarus Blue

take the night
take the day
just take me away
crash the midnight flight

once upon a time i could run
once upon a time i could chase the sun
once upon a time....
 ....was a long time ago

the long nights have settled into fiction
river of dreams runs blood red in the troubled dawn
summer days squeezed into packages
good times stacked and loaded into boxcars bound for never
memories linger in flights of fancy stuck in holding patterns over an unfulfilled life

take the night
take the day
just take me away
crash the midnight flight

once upon a time we could linger
once upon a time we laughed at danger
once upon a time....
....was a story book ago

without seeing
without feeling
without the chance of falling we all fly too high

take the night
take the day
just take me away
crash the midnight flight
i don’t want to fly any more
