"Heaven's Nail And Hammer" lyrics

"Heaven's Nail And Hammer"

In the night
With voices low, low, low
And all the cars
Are off the road

That's when Heaven's nail and hammer
Starts nailing holes in the sky
And I see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes
I see Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
I see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes

Now on with the show
I see Slow Down Jo
Who died long ago
And I'm still down here with the old man, Jo, Jo

I
I
Only see Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
We'll see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes
We'll see Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
We'll see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes

Now when this show is through
Get a hard hat, silver hammer and steel toe boots
And if you're lucky, if you're lucky
You join that heavenly crew
Look up there, little kid
Way up there, little kid
And don't see if I do

Join that Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
Heaven, Heaven, Heaven's
Through the holes
You'll see Heaven's nail and hammer
Nailing holes in the sky
You'll see Heaven, Heaven, Heaven
Through the holes
