lyrics

Upon The Hammer



Hands upon the hammer I give to you again
Buckle me up and send me off for the road out here is set
And if you feel me splinter know that I’ll be fine
Its only the sound of hammering hands I’ll carry you by and by

So run
Honey now I’m bound for Babylon

Juniper pulls the daylight in and cradles us till morning
Naked we lie side by side my feathers painted red
So when wicked she comes to wake me tell her I’m away
She’s only come to count the days and take tomorrow with her

So run
Honey now I’m bound for Babylon

And break
Honey now I’m bound to work alone in the cold hard ground

Now the merry old sound of my merry old gang goes rolling round the bend
See the rattle and hum of their marching drums have left me far behind
So with bootlace and a claw-jack I’ll face the coming days
Just give me room and space to breath whilst steadiness I wrestle

So run
Honey now I’m bound of Babylon

And break
Honey now I’m bound to work alone in the cold hard ground

Honey now I’m bound to work alone in the cold hard ground
