letra de the blue hammer - simon joyner

Loading...

i lived in a house with a blue steel hammer
i lived all alone she left me that way
everything around me seemed to be shattered
i nailed it all to the ground and then i wandered away

i searched for work at my side was the hammer
i pounded on doors through the winter and spring
but no one had any jobs for a stranger
nothing broken for a man who could fix anything

if a church had a pew that was falling apart
i’d nail it back together for free
but if a woman had a roof with a hole in the heart
there would be something she could do for me

i met a woman who stood before a hot hungry needle
she climbed a rubber ladder and leapt into this lap
then i met a man who drank from the moat around a castle
then crawled all day and night just to collapse inside a shack

a fire broke out and the trees began moaning
the animals scrambled or huddled in fear
i searched for a pain that might lead to a clearing
for i knew that a high place would be better than here

i longed for escape from the black burning woods
everything in the smoke was trying to get free
but nothing i saw could be saved or made good
in fact everything was so scorched on all sides of me

i made it back home and i p-ssed through the door
all that i’d left behind was exactly the same
after pulling all the nails from the walls and the floor
i knew it was time to put the blue hammer away

i laid myself down and slipped into dreaming
where i was clutching my lover and reliving the past
i awoke to the smoke and the fire in the ceiling
when you retire your hammer the forest attacks
