Imagine you're a girl on ten mile stilts  You travel round the world, taking it all in  You'll never touch the ground  Is it a blessing or a curse  And if you're too high to be found  Are you lost or just rehearsed    Got a heart that opens clear in this cool September dark  It rests on treetop leaves  And bursts its little sparks  And sometimes it sings its songs  And it lets its secrets out  Except for one that sears inside  That it cannot live without    But if I tell you will you take it  Will you shine it up to me  Can you be strong to let me go on  And set this freedom free    The stars are out tonight  Up here they're ripe to hold  But I have learned what comes to those who get too close  I'm no Icarus in flight  And I'm old enough to know  That love is patient, but still unyielding  If you leave it long enough it lets you go    But if I tell you wil you take it  Will you shine it up to me  Can you be strong to let me go on  And set this freedom free
