Ten Mile Stilts - The Wailin’ Jennys

Ten Mile Stilts - The Wailin Jennys
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 are 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 it's little sparks
And sometimes it sings it's songs
And it lets it's 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
And set this freedom free
The stars are out tonight
Up here they're ripe to hold
I 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
And set this freedom free
And set this freedom free
