(a. harvey)
Oh please don't send me out
Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil
I been walking on a road of rocks
And i keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering,
Hammering the anvil
Don't let the sun go down
Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace
I been buried in the snow
And i keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing,
Firing the furnace
Oh don't talk to me
Said the man with the chisel, chiseling the surface
I been sleeping far too long
And i keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling,
Chiseling the surface
I don't know what you mean
Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes
I been digging in the frozen ground
And i keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling,
Shoveling the ashes
Shoveling the ashes
Chiseling the surface
Firing the furnace
Hammering the anvil
