Ten Mile Stilts
The Wailin' Jennys

Imagine you're a girl on ten mile stilts
You travel 'round the world, taking it all in
And you 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
And it rests on treetop leaves and it bursts its little spark
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?
And can you be strong, to let me go on
And set this freedom free?
Set this freedom free

The stars are out tonight, I hear they're ripe to hold
But I'll learn what comes to those who get too close
And I'm no Icarus in flight
And I'm old enough to know
Love is patient but still unyielding
If you leave it long enough, it lets you go

But if I tell you, will you take it?
Will you shine it up to me?
And can you be strong to let me go on
And set this freedom free?
Set this freedom free...
