Throw Me Down a Line

Down river from my memories, of all those summer years,
You come riding by on horseback crowned with tears,
I’ve watched you from the shadows, behind this wall of trees,
I would comfort you if I knew the words to speak;

CHORUS:
Hey! throw me down a line,
You can’t make it alone it’s a long hard climb,
Hey! throw me down a line,
I’ll keep you company if you don’t mind,
Throw me down a line.

Your friends have gone a little crazy, from all that summer heat,
And you sit down here crying in defeat,
You are so confused and tired, but I know you’ve done your best,
Now you’re looking like a kid in your mother’s dress;

Hey! throw me down a line,
You can’t make it alone it’s a long hard climb,
Hey! throw me down a line,
I’ll keep you company if you don’t mind,
Throw me down a line.

Please let me ride with you cross this mountain,
I too have no-one to be sharing my lifetime with,
‘Cause I’m lost like you – not alone we are two –
Confused pilgrims.

Hey! throw me down a line,
You can’t make it alone it’s a long hard climb,
Hey! throw me down a line,
I’ll keep you company if you don’t mind,
Throw me down a line.
