Icare
Syd Matters feat. Euros Childs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
During my young days in the sun
When all the children loved to run
Fell so good when I was home
For I was never left alone
I had a Dad when I was down
When I was sad I had a Mum
For every long day in the heat
I have a memory to keep
I met you someday on the street
For every time I wasn't there
And all the things I couldn't share
For all the words friends wouldn't dare to sing
I care
