1
I lived in a house with a blue steel hammer
2
I lived all alone she left me that way
3
Everything around me seemed to be shattered
4
I nailed it all to the ground and then I wandered away
5
I searched for work at my side was the hammer
6
I pounded on doors through the winter and spring
7
But no one had any jobs for a stranger
8
Nothing broken for a man who could fix anything
9
If a church had a pew that was falling apart
10
I'd nail it back together for free
11
But if a woman had a roof with a hole in the heart
12
There would be something she could do for me
13
I met a woman who stood before a hot hungry needle
14
She climbed a rubber ladder and leapt into this lap
15
Then I met a man who drank from the moat around a castle
16
Then crawled all day and night just to collapse inside a shack
17
A fire broke out and the trees began moaning
18
The animals scrambled or huddled in fear
19
I searched for a pain that might lead to a clearing
20
For I knew that a high place would be better than here
21
I longed for escape from the black burning woods
22
Everything in the smoke was trying to get free
23
But nothing I saw could be saved or made good
24
In fact everything was so scorched on all sides of me
25
I made it back home and I passed through the door
26
All that I'd left behind was exactly the same
27
After pulling all the nails from the walls and the floor
28
I knew it was time to put the blue hammer away
29
I laid myself down and slipped into dreaming
30
Where I was clutching my lover and reliving the past
31
I awoke to the smoke and the fire in the ceiling
32
When you retire your hammer the forest attacks
