Nine Pound Hammer

Keep on banging that hammer

Keep on with the stomping of feet

Because its too late now

For a soul in this town to get some sleep

Keep on moving me closer

Into the drifting apart

Because all but time

Has made up its mind

Against us

So keep on holding me close

Don’t let me know

Keep on holding me close

Baby doll

So keep on holding me close

Don’t let me know

Its over

I guess that sooner or later

Maybe its later for some

But we all come down

With a bad case of longing

Sometimes

But oh how the winter pounds heavy

Oh, how the spring makes us glean

I’d like to pack my bags

And hail me a cab

And get out, get out, get out

So keep on holding me close

Don’t let me know

Keep on holding me close

Baby doll

Keep on holding me close

Don’t let me know

Its over, oh no
