Hammer Blows - Lee Ranaldo

Last night I stopped by your house / in the rain

But I could see you weren’t home

Everything comes to a stop / here on Rocky Too

Maybe I’ll see you out on the road

Turn your face to the light / the wind whispers your name

Carry on into the night / it’s nice t have you back in the game

We talked about your sanity / but not of your vanity

If it’s all the same, we can talk talk talk til the end

On the road your feet are light / they carry you into the night

And I’ll walk beside you like a true true friend

Like a good citizen I wait for it all to explode

Turn my face to the wind.

I’m just a rabbit on the road

But I’m coming home

I’ll write at dawn

I’ll try t get you on the phone

My kingdom’s dirty and my hands unclean

Illusion comes w no remorse

Hammer blows get heavy and they’re oft unseen

But this pain is bound t run it’s course

It’s nice t have you back, I wasn’t ready for a change

Here’s a present for the road / I’ll give you back your name

It won’t do you harm

Shine up your nails

Feel the wind in your sails
