Didn't mamma tell you

Stories 'bout the man who flew too close to the sun

Cold beneath his feet

Honey drippin' sweet

I watched him come undone

So boy don't be greedy now

The honey makes you sick without the love

If you're chasing gold through empty skies

Feel the fog from way up high

[Chorus]

Your feathers are melting

[?] [1:17 I'm/You're/-] falling like I believe

The gold is blinding

You flew too close to the sun

You flew too close to the sun

All, all of my life I've only ever seen in shades of gold

But now I'm searching for the treasure in a softer kind of love

Cause I'm loosing everyone

There's no fun in being alone

[Chorus]

'Cause my feathers are melting

I'm falling like I believe

This gold is blinding

You flew too close to the sun

You flew too close to the sun

I was loosing everyone

There's no fun in being alone

Then I melted in the light

You spiralled from an empty sky

[Chorus]

My feathers are melting

I was falling like I believe

The gold was blinding

When I flew too close to the sun

When I flew too close to the sun

Yeah, I flew too close, I flew too close, I flew too close to the sun

I see the ocean in your eyes

The sea of blue and green

Washed up on my knees

I finally found release from material disease

And swam inside salvation
