Joe Henry - Like She Was A Hammer lyrics

rate me

I know she's right behind me now

Without looking back

I know she will untie me

How, then, will I pay for that?

And like she was the railroad

Like she was the lost world

Like she was the big hand

Turning back the sea

Like she was the raging

Flower in the brickyard

Like she was the only thing holding on to me

There is no revolution

Without boots and song

Her foot falls like a banner day

And I will sing along

Like she was the anvil

Like she was the fire bell

Like she was the fever

I wear like a crown

Like she was the bomb scare

Threatening with heaven

Like she was the only thing holds me to the ground

(Ha!)

She's pretending to be wide awake

To be listening to me

Promises a love to last at least for now

Without a moment's peace

Like she was the tightrope

Like she was the last hope

Like she was Roosevelt's funeral in the street

Like she was the wildest

Voice out of the jungle

Like she was the only thing calling out to me

And Like she was the railroad

Like she was the lost world

Like she was the big hand

Turning back the sea

Like she was the raging

Flower in the brickyard

Like she was the holding on to me

Like she was the holding on to me

Like she was the holding on to me

Like she was the holding on to me

Like she was the holding on to me
