Story Behind The Song

The story behind this song is that I have spent a lot of years in my life thinking about the process of living. No matter what angle I use t approach this issue, it always boils down to the fact that each moment is miraculous and we can know nothing other that what we are experiencing in the current instant. Obviously, this thought is ages old, but each individual has to embrace an digest it at their own pace ? mine is very slow, but I keep trying?.

Song Description

This song is about enjoying the simple pleasure in the now and not spending too much time worrying about what might be in the future.

Lyrics

Hammer
© 2004 E. Henderson

Sitting on a warm sand beach
Looking in my baby?s eyes
Thinking this could last forever

Knowing that a single touch
Only amplifies
One thousand-fold the pleasure

Knowing that this day will pass
Knowing that this moment here
Is just one of many strung together

Hoping that she understands
That no matte what I do
She?s my primary endeavor

There ain?t no predicting
When the hammer will fall
And all you think matters
Doesn?t matter at all

Could have been a hundred years
And I never would have known this bliss
If we?d never met on that cold December

Now I?m all filled up
With these memories
There?s so much for me to remember

Like your angel skin
It?s like a tigers eye
Lighted up somewhere down under

And your baby?s breath
And your zephyr touch
And your lover?s raging thunder

There ain?t no predicting
When the hammer will fall
And all you think matters
Doesn?t matter at all

There ain?t no predicting
When the hammer will fall
When you least expect it
That?s when love comes to call

Sitting on a warm sand beach
Looking in my baby?s eyes
Thinking this could last forever
