《The Blue Hammer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Blue Hammer - Simon Joyner

[00:00:19] I lived in a house with a blue steel hammer

[00:00:26] I lived all alone she left me that way

[00:00:34] Everything around me seemed to be shattered

[00:00:40] I nailed it all to the ground and then I wandered away

[00:00:57] I searched for work at my side was the hammer

[00:01:04] I pounded on doors through the winter and spring

[00:01:11] But no one had any jobs for a stranger

[00:01:18] Nothing broken for a man who could fix anything

[00:01:34] If a church had a pew that was falling apart

[00:01:39] I'd nail it back together for free

[00:01:45] But if a woman had a roof with a hole in the heart

[00:01:54] There would be something she could do for me

[00:02:11] I met a woman who stood before a hot hungry needle

[00:02:18] She climbed a rubber ladder and leapt into this lap

[00:02:24] Then I met a man who drank from the moat around a castle

[00:02:32] Then crawled all day and night just to collapse inside a shack

[00:02:48] A fire broke out and the trees began moaning

[00:02:54] The animals scrambled or huddled in fear

[00:03:01] I searched for a pain that might lead to a clearing

[00:03:07] For I knew that a high place would be better than here

[00:03:23] I longed for escape from the black burning woods

[00:03:28] Everything in the smoke was trying to get free

[00:03:35] But nothing I saw could be saved or made good

[00:03:42] In fact everything was so scorched on all sides of me

[00:04:00] I made it back home and I passed through the door

[00:04:07] All that I'd left behind was exactly the same

[00:04:14] After pulling all the nails from the walls and the floor

[00:04:22] I knew it was time to put the blue hammer away

[00:04:36] I laid myself down and slipped into dreaming

[00:04:41] Where I was clutching my lover and reliving the past

[00:04:50] I awoke to the smoke and the fire in the ceiling

[00:04:57] When you retire your hammer the forest attacks
