lyrics

i am broken up in two
i am piece upon piece
because of you
and i swear you’re like the first i’ve seen
and i know you’ll get the best of me
before we’re through
and so do you

and when you leave me don’t be long
you keep me close, i’ll keep your ghost
on my palm
where you fit is where i’ll make my home
where you go you will not go alone

you are the roll and the thunder
and all the glory it brings
you are the hope and the wonder
the kiss and the sting
this marvelous thing
held up by hammers and strings
hammers and strings

now i can feel your body hum
and i can hear your heart beat clear
like a drum
and i’ve been waiting for this
all my life
like the silence waits for a
riot cry

you are the roll and the thunder
and all the glory it brings
you are the hope and the wonder
the kiss and the sting
this marvelous thing
held up by hammers and strings

and i’ll be kissing and kissing and kissing you, darling
i’ll be kissing and kissing and kissing and kissing you, oh
i’ll be kissing and kissing and kissing you, darling
i’ll be kissing and kissing and kissing and kissing you, oh

you are the roll and the thunder
and all the glory it brings
you are the hope and the wonder
the kiss and the sting
this marvelous, oh
i’d give you anything

the roll and the thunder
and all the glory it brings
you are the hope and the wonder
the kiss and the sting
this marvelous thing
held up by hammers and

hammers and strings

and i am broken up in two
