Waiting for the Hammer Lyrics

There's an empty feeling on the streets tonight

A hush too much to bear

Ain't a single person in my line of sight, nowhere

All the gladsome places that I used the haunt

Are only filled with ghosts

This ain't the city I remember, no

When the sun turns black, the wind begins to howl

Won't find me anywhere around

Some other fool can take the pain that's bearing down

Because I'm bound for the country, gone to ground

Waiting for the hammer to fall

Read the signals, made the call

They tell me that it's fate

Time to close the shutters and latch the door just waiting

Waiting for the hammer

When the sun turns black, the wind begins to howl

Won't find me anywhere around

Some other fool can take the pain that's bearing down

Because I'm bound for the country, gone to ground

Waiting for the hammer to fall

When the sun turns black, the wind begins to howl

Won't find me anywhere around

Some other fool can take the pain that's bearing down

Because I'm bound for the country, gone to ground

Waiting for the hammer to fall
