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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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