Icarus Over Kansas — текст песни (Mckinley)

(McKinley)
There`s an astronaut missing his children tonight
sitting in his silver machinery.
He`s in love with the world and stunned by her size.
From where he sits she looks mostly empty.
From here on the ground I know how he feels.
The curve of the world beneath me
seems impossibly large when I think of where you are,
how I can sing my heart out and you won`t hear me.
If I put my hand up and blow a kiss,
it`ll never make it to you.
It`ll go down over Kansas like Icarus,
sink like Amelia`s last SOS.
I could drive to the divide
where rains run to your side or mine,
put a bottle with a note in a river running to your coast
asking you how the world got so wide.
If I put my hand up and blow a kiss,
it`ll never make it to you.
It`ll go down over Kansas like Icarus,
sink like Amelia`s last SOS.
