Like a Mirror Loves a Hammer - Hiss Golden Messenger

Yes, in the dark of the day

I want to give it all away

Tear this high mountain down

And keep nothing for myself

If you go — go by

Build a wall I cannot climb

Fix a lock I cannot break

Oh, a mirror loves a hammer

When the river’s running backwards

Do the dance of many colors

They call us to keep moving

Yes, babe — I can feel it

I’m watching your dark legs

Flashing like some battlefield

Should I drown in the Atlanta rain?

Yes, babe — I can’t stand it

In the dew of the dawn

I want to call and blow my horn

Yes, beat this mountain down

And give nothing to myself

Yes, one more time around

Tell me that you need me now

Tell me that you love me still

Like a mirror loves a hammer

I’m gonna run to the city of Refuge

See the spirit in the water

Now the servant calls the master
