i was a young man
when the hammer came down
thought i could handle it
wouldn't do me no harm. she was a young girl
stars in her hair
rings on her finger tips
a diamond so rare. hammer came down from above
hammer
hammer of love. oho
won't you save me. she was a young girl
with dangerous ways
the tears of a demon
kissed by a saint. hammer came down from above
oh
hammer
hammer of love. oho
yeah. though you pound this bitter heart
down to a molten steel
cast it in the furnace
of your burning spinning wheel
i will rise up through the flames
to wrap you in my arms
brand you with my loving seal
and steal your tender charms. oh
yeah. the scent of our loving
woke my desire
she stirred my smouldering heart
left me on fire. oh
hammer down from above
oh
hammer
hammer of love. hammer
how you saved me
hammer
how you saved me
saved my soul. hear me calling you
through the misty morning
mountain and valley
ocean and sea.
