I was a young man
When the hammer came down
Thought I could handle it
Wouldn't do me no harm

She was a young girl
Stars in her hair
Rings on her finger tips
A diamond so rare

Hammer came down from above
Hammer, Hammer of love
Oho, won't you save me

She was a young girl
With dangerous ways
The tears of a demon
Kissed by a saint

Hammer came down from above
Oh, Hammer, Hammer of love

Oho, yeah

Though you pound this bitter heart
Down to a molten steel
Cast it in the furnace
Of your burning spinning wheel
I will rise up through the flames
To wrap you in my arms
Brand you with my loving seal
And steal your tender charms
Oh, yeah

The scent of our loving
Woke my desire
She stirred my smouldering heart
Left me on fire

Oh, Hammer down from above
Oh, Hammer, Hammer of love

Hammer, how you saved me
Hammer, how you saved me
Saved my soul

Hear me calling you
Through the misty morning
Mountain and Valley
Ocean and Sea
