Hammer County - Not You Lyrics

Walk on thin ice, most would break through.
I would.
Not you.

Turn your cheek twice, fully knowing they'd bruise you.
Your heart open wide - only way you knew to.

Bound to sea / Bear the tide, in a jigger flotilla.
Bound to me / By the gods I'll be damned, I'll be swallowed.
'Tween the rocks is a hard / On the ocean I've no place to be.
Without you.

I watched you suffer, I watched you cry salty water.
The oath is hollow when the vow's not true.

By all rights, you could've cut me loose.
It was good of you not to.

Bound to sea / Bear the tide, in a jigger flotilla.
Bound to me / By the gods I'll be damned, I'll be swallowed.
'Tween the rocks is a hard / On the ocean I've no place to be.
Without you.

You didn't close me out. Why didn't you throw me out?
I wish to God you'd run me through.
Or shown me what I am to do these things... but that's not you.

So I live by your grace, and the light on my face is the wages of sin.
And when again I begin, it'll be without you.

Bound to sea / Bear the tide, in a jigger flotilla.
Bound to me / By the gods I'll be damned, I'll be swallowed.
'Tween the rocks is a hard / On the ocean I've no place to be.
Without you.
