David Ford Throwaway
I just want to throw away to get me through today
Nothing real to hold on to, nothing meant to stay
Only till the sun comes up then cast down on the wave
Yeah, I just want to throw away to get me through today.
I don't need no fairy tales, I just want a start
A footstep on the lowest rung, a patch on this old heart
Won't you put a compass in my hand, and send me on my way
Cause I just want to throw away to get me through today.
Built a house on Lovers Lane and now it's fallen down
Couldn't stand against the wind and built on shaky ground
All I was, I was for her, now since she went away
Would you deny a throwaway, or to help me through today.
Could be some way down the line before a day will come
When I have faith enough to say, hey, this could be the one
Till the end of winter comes and the gold kicks through the grey
I just want to throw away to help me through today
To help me through today.
