This post is dedicated to the return of Icarus, for he seems to eek into everything I hear. This week I purchased the new Karine Polwart album - love it and on there is a song called Beo - which has the boy in it. So here is the lyric and a live version of the song. The iTunes version is better but this is ok - and if you want to hear the Darwin song she refers to it below but I also include another at the bottom of the page from the Darwin Song Project - just cos I luv it but if you click on it you can hear them all in succession:Beo Beo
I'm going home and I'm going home soon
Beo Beo
To where a boy at the window
is opening up his wings to the world
I'm gonna be there
when he takes to the air
I'm gonna watch them unfurl
Beo Beo …
I'm gonna run as fast as I can
Beo Beo
To where a boy at the window
is opening up his heart for the first time
I'm gonna be there to keep it from care
I'm gonna hold it in mine
Beo Beo
I'm going home ...
Words & Music: Karine Polwart (Bay Songs Ltd 2006)
