Hammer and a Nail
------ --- - ----
(Emily Saliers)

Clearing webs from the hovel
A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel
I've been digging too deep, I always do.
I see my fate on the surface
I look a lot like Narcissus
A dark aabyss of an emptiness
Standing on the edge of a drowning blue.

I look behind my ears for the green
Even my sweat smells clean
Glare off the white hurts my eyes.
Gotta get out of bed get a hammer and a nail
Learn how to use my hands, not just my head
I think myself into jail
Now I know a refuge never grows
From a chin in a hand in a thoughtful pose
Gotta tend the earth if you want a rose.

I had a lot of good intentions
Sit around for fifty years and then collect a pension,
Started seeing the road to hell and just where it starts
But my life is more than a vision
The sweetest part is acting after making a decision
I started seeing the whole as a sum of its parts

My life is part of the global life
I'd found myself becoming more immobile
When I'd think a little girl in the world can't do anything.
A distant nation my community
A street person my responsibility
If I have a care in the world I have a gift to bring.

  • Fill It Up Again
    "Won't have you see me as your sad sack
    Lost my something and I can't get it back
    Or a kill on your trophy rack
    I checked my schedule now my train is rolling down a track..."
  • Heartache for Everyone
    "You spent five years saying you'd come my way
    That's a little more wait than a heart can take
    Yeah now that I know it's just a fantasy
    I feel a hard time coming around for me..."
  • Free in You
    "A hard knock
    A cold clock
    Ticking off my time
    A long look..."
  • Perfect World
    "We get to be a ripple in the water
    We get to be a rock that's thrown
    We get to be a boy on the bridge
    Standing over the reservoir..."
  • All That We Let In
    "Oooooooo
    Oooooooo
    Oooooooo
    Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up..."
  • Tether
    "Whatever it was, is wasn't manumission
    To spill the blood, to pull the weed
    You can bury the past, but it's a mausoleum
    With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be..."
  • Come on Home
    "Dark clouds are comin' like an army
    Soon the sky will open up and disarm me
    You will go just like you've gone before
    One sad soldier off to war, enemies that only you can see...."
  • Dairy Queen
    "I heard that you were drunk and mean
    Down at the dairy queen
    There's just enough of you in me
    For me to have sympathy..."
