lyrics

In the time of our living we’re building our deaths
A corner of earth to make our mark
My morning’s work, my evening’s rest
Never saw much value in a heavy heart

I gave my heart to a restless man
Born under the sign of the whippoorwill
He roamed this country about as far as you can
Nightbirds always singing on his windowsill

Trouble don’t spare no man
Bury me with a hammer in my hand

I tended my own plot and parcel then
A rocky bargain for eternal Spring
In my mind it’s all galax and laurel now
A brief charmed circle, a wild dark thing

Trouble don’t spare no man
Bury me with a hammer in my hand
I’ll wear out not rust out, do all that I can
Bury me with a hammer in my hand

Love’s sense and nonsense, an even draw
I held it loose and I gave it free
I don’t claim salvation in faith or in law
I want to build a world I won’t live to see
I want to build a world I won’t live to see
