Album: It's a Perfect Day

Hammer and Nail

(Suzy Bogguss/Gary Scruggs)
Nail and hammer, hammer and nail
I need a lifeboat that's set to sail
Across this ocean of tears I've cried
The time has come to turn the tire

Thread and needle, needle and thread
I need a sail made of crimson red
I wanna be seen from miles away
I'm lost at sea and I wanna be saved

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heartPen and paper, paper and pen
I need a bottle to put a message in
And I hope it won't sink to the ocean floor
I'm still a far cry from the shore

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I'm tossed and turned, I'm in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart
