With your photographs of | |
Kitty Hawk | |
And the biplanes on your wall | |
You were always | |
Amy Johnson | |
From the time that you were small. | |
No schoolroom kept you grounded | |
While your thoughts could get away | |
You were taking off in | |
Tiger Moths | |
Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day | |
Are you there? | |
On the tarmac with the winter in your hair | |
By the empty hangar doors, you stop and stare | |
Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care | |
Oh, are you there? | |
Oh, you wrapped me up in a leather coat | |
And you took me for a ride | |
We were drifting with the tail-wind | |
When the runway came in sight | |
The clouds came up to gather us | |
And the cockpit turned to white | |
When I looked, the sky was empty | |
I suppose you never saw the landing-lights | |
Are you there? | |
In your jacket with the grease stain and the tear | |
Caught up in the slipstream of the dare | |
The compass rose will guide you anywhere, | |
Oh, are you there? | |
The sun comes up on | |
Icarus as the night-birds sail away | |
And lights the maps and diagrams | |
That Leonardo made | |
You can see | |
Faith, Hope and | |
Charity As they bank above the fields | |
You can join the flying circus | |
You can touch the morning air against your wheels | |
Are you there? | |
Do you have a thought for me that you can share? | |
Oh I never thought you'd take me unawares | |
Just call me if you ever need repairs | |
Oh, are you there? |
