All That Hammering

(album: Circus - 1995)

I used to think joy, was the break between sorrow
Like peace was the break between wars
I'm still partly new now, but mostly older
And I can not say I'm so sure

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

'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
There's 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
