about

Dedicated to the city of Philadelphia.

Recorded by Michael Batchelor of Kettle Pot Tracks in May 2013.

lyrics

Slowly it seemed,
that the jagged streets and the frowning signs were home
Those days out on bikes,
and nights of bliss and hunts for things unknown

And the moment when your hands grew cold
and that inner voice diffused
that is when the world snuck in
and warmed you with good news

have you heard that life is light
and moves like breath in air
if you try to snatch it up
it just sighs without a care

were you in awe?

out in the Sun,
the Winter seemed to have lost its stubborn mood
we lived two days in one,
and seemed to float on air, all our heavy layers removed

and we strung on our little perch
a strand of golden lights
I recalled all my states of grace
how the lined up few but bright

in the dark the buildings loomed
like monumental ghosts
but in the day those skyscrapers
were helpless things at most

were you in awe?

will I hold my own
or is my fall in stone
does a light wind blow
a blessed wind that knows?

when it seemed it was nearly time
to fold and phone once more
I felt a strength that sails alone
and calls the sea its shore

and at last yes I could see a peak
rising from the sea
I let the air wash through my soul
and finally was free
