So Julia walks alone by the river
Her heart is aching, lonely and cold.
She's waited for years for a man to deliver
Now she prays all alone that no one will show
Julia cries 'neath the stars up above her
Then she wipes all the falling teardrops away
She dreams of the day someone will love her
But she locks up her heart just for today.
She's wearing her armor so no one can harm her
No one ever can tell.
She's built her a wall ever so tall
No man ever can scale.
She thinks of the past, remembers them all,
The men who have torn her and cut her so deep
She weeps in the dark as she builds up her wall
Then drifts off alone into her sleep.
She's wearing her armor so no one can harm her
No one ever can tell.
She's built her a wall ever so tall
Julia, listen, come play in the field.
Come out of your shell, if just for a bit
Put down the sword and lay down the shield
And take all the love I know you can get.
She's wearing her armor so no one can harm her
No one ever can tell.
She's built her a wall about a thousand feet tall
That no man ever can scale.
Workin' man defeated dumped and laid off blues...
After an outdoor concert...feeling pretty good.
A travelogue in song. The singer had such a good time on vacation and she's try to convince her nearest and dearest to come with her to stay there, but realizes that it's not all that realistic for her to move there, but with the right mindset she can have that "Malibu" experience anywhere they're at :)
Easy going humor
"Farewell Icarus" is a tribute to John Denver and his achievements as a philanthropist protecting nature and celebrating his love of music.
