All That Hammering — Mary Black

I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow,

Like peace was the break between wars,

Im still partly new now, but mostly older,

And I can not say Im so sure.

Chorus

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.

Chorus

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,

Theres 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.
