To A Hammer Lyrics

Erin Mckeown To A Hammer

i will never leave you and you will never know it
and i've never known it so plain
i will be the one to pretend it was nothing
to a blind man each day looks the same
to a blind man each day looks the same


was it love? was it travel? was it true? was it tragic?
we f..cked all but in name
and when you say it's over i will say it's over
but a banker counts more than the change
but a banker counts more than the change


my name in salt, your name in marble
one trace is gone and one stays
i will never leave you and you will never know it
to a player everything is a game
to a player everything is a game


my name in salt your name in marble
the echo will be the refrain
i will hold the secret and you will never see it
'cause the handsomest flower still fades
oh the handsomest flower still fades


and as each day goes by, we'll have better goodbyes
that's the beauty of time and of scale
but when i close my eyes i will still see your light
'cause a train only follows its rail
a train only follows its rail


we will be the ones to pass on forever
'cause forever would doom us to fail
i will never leave you and you will never know it
to a hammer everything is a nail
to a hammer everything is a nail
