Lyrics

Father so clever with your books and your plans
I am not clever and could never understand
How to make my mind quiet or how to sit still
I'm sorry I can't help it Pa
I swear I mean no ill
And when my cousin came to stay
You and he would spend all day
Working then walking on the beach
He would learn and you would teach
Words I'll never understand
Written in the sand
Washed away
Washed away
Oh keys and combs
Made from snake and fish bones
How could I ever make you proud
My mouths to quiet
And my thoughts too loud
I will take the blame
Surely it was just a game
He was calling out your name
When he fell
There's no truth to tell
We must away
Make our escape
Through the labyrinth is where the journey takes us
It's dark you know the way
Take my hand and lead me to the water
Am I what you hoped for in a son or a daughter
You tied these wings to my back
Father it's not courage I lack
I was slow to study
Never quick to learn
You warned me not to fly too high or else my wings might burn
No one controls the sky father
Except perhaps now you and I
Can you see how I fly
Please don't take the blame
I was calling out your name
When I fell
father all is well all is well
