Hand Against the Wind
(capo: 5)
What do I have to win
In the window that I’m in?
Picture and pretend,
Or the matter to contend?
Someone send me somewhere
Lead me not astray
Not too long ago
Not too far away
Whisper who you are
Light a candle in my ear
Thread by hanging wall
Am I anything at all?
Laid all out on the floor
Like a hand against the wind
Traveling black in time
Hunger to no end
It’s hard to not have this dance
While our love is in the air
Filling the great expanse
Brimming every moment spare
If I am your someone
Tell me how can this be then done?
If you’re someone’s two
How can this be then done to you?
Scaling the wall of life
With a meaning to inscribe
Read it from your age
If a miracle survive
Cups that run away
Tessellations on the land
Obsoleted map
And I don’t know where I am
Spirited as they come
But at a loss for what to be
Conspirators of remorse
Tower over all I see
Life is off in hiding
Death is on parade
Hunker down in his shadow
Live between his blades
What do I have to lose
In a window this shot through?
Anything good that moves
Hand against the wind
Someone send me somewhere
Lead me through the fray
Not too long ago
Not too far away
