All That Hammering - Mary Black

I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow

Like peace was the break between wars

I’m still partly new now, but mostly older

And I can not say I’m so sure

I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it

Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it

All of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark

On his ark

I may look back at today and feel foolish

My old view was right all along

I will rush in, where no angels are walking

And fight for the right to be wrong

'Cause I never trusted happiness, as far as I could throw it

Always preparing for the worst, 'cause I would know it

Of that hammering in the dark, like a new Noah working on his ark

On his ark

Between my potential and the deep blue sea

There’s a rock and a diamond either side of me

Between our potential and the break of day

There is nothing at all in our way

Nothing in our way
