to A hammer

To A Hammer -Erin McKeown
I will never leave you and you will never know it
And Ive 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**ked all but in name
And when you say its over I will say its 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 well have better goodbyes
Thats 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
The 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
