Lyric Hammer and Nail

(Suzy Bogguss/Gary Scruggs)

Nail and hammer, hammer and nail
I need a lifeboat that s set to sail
Across this ocean of tears I ve cried
The time has come to turn the tire

Thread and needle, needle and thread
I need a sail made of crimson red
I wanna be seen from miles away
I m lost at sea and I wanna be saved

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I m tossed and turned, I m in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart

Pen and paper, paper and pen
I need a bottle to put a message in
And I hope it won t sink to the ocean floor
I m still a far cry from the shore

Blow wind blow and set me free
A storm called love made a wreck of me
I m tossed and turned, I m in the dark
All my dreams lie torn apart
At the bottom of my deep blue heart
