[Mute, 1990] ) |
|
I set out on monday |
|
The night was cold and vast |
|
And my brother slept |
|
And though I left quite quietly |
|
My father raged and raged |
|
And my mother wept |
|
Now, my life was like a river |
|
All sucked into the ground |
|
And then the hammer came down |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
Many miles did I roam |
|
Through the ice and through the snow |
|
My horse died on the seventh day |
|
I stumbled into a city |
|
Where the people tried to kill me |
|
And I ran in shame |
|
Then I came upon a river |
|
And I laid my saddle down |
|
And then the hammer came down |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
It knocked me to the ground |
|
And I said, "Please, please |
|
Take me back to my home ground" |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
Now I've been made weak by visions |
|
For visions did I see |
|
All through the night |
|
On the seventh hour an angel came |
|
With many snakes in all his hands |
|
And I fled in fright |
|
I pushed off into the river |
|
And the water came around |
|
And then the hammer came down |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
And it did not make a sound |
|
And I said, "Please, please |
|
Take me back to my home ground" |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
And I pushed off into the river |
|
And the water swelled around |
|
And then the hammer came down |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
And it did not make a sound |
|
And I said, "Please, please |
|
Take me back to my home ground" |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
But it throw me round and round |
|
And I said, "Please, please |
|
Take me back to my home town" |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
And it knocked my to the ground |
|
And I got down on my knees |
|
And I said, "Please" |
|
I said, "Take me to my home town" |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
|
And it did not make a sound |
|
And I said, "Please, please |
|
Take me back to my home ground" |
|
Lord, the hammer came down |
