Every hammer, every axe
Every anvil and stone
He strikes the ground
I hear it burn
I feel better
Oh I know this day will come my way
I know farther west, they ask his name
But you don't know what I saw
A blow of his axe and it's done
They ask, honey
Is it true?
What they said of you
The ringing of steel, I'll never hear
A wave breaks, the gulls they cry
He once was mine
Oh I knew this day would come my way
I know farther west, they ask his name
Did you turn from me?
Did you turn to him?
A wave breaks, the gulls they cry
He once was mine
