about

Hands in the Air (Kerwell)

I saw your picture back in a box.
I saw your picture undoing a knot.
Four cavaliers standing beneath your gaze.
I remember the setting well, I was feeling cold.

You were standing, high above the door.
Gray as a cloud, silent and bold.
You were standing carved in a stone.
We were unaware, safe in your hold.

How do we trudge on, forward but stopped?
How do we stand, tall but dropped?
We run down a road that just circles on.
Winding to nothing, stones and dust.

There you are.
There you stand.
There you are.
There you stand.

There was a street where the ramshackle grooved.
Every day it changed, depending on the mood.
Me in my black, my lady a darker shade,
Foolishly guilty, in madness we played.

She smiled at the union, reading my poetry.
My lines were tooth marks, begging you to call.
All of the vodka made the smoke smell sweet.
You were standing above the door you know what we need.

There you are.
There you stand.
There you are.
There you stand.
Hands in the air.

Four cavaliers across the countryside,
I played my part, I wore my disguise.
There are scenes you never want to play,
There are worlds you don't want to make.

See the sky we never look upon,
There you are holding every son.
You hold my breath and you hold me near.
I love your eyes, I love no time.

There you are.
There you stand.
There you are.
There you stand.
Hands in the air.
Hands in the air.
