Throw down a light,
help a poor boy
who's drowning in a stormy sea
Throw down a light, help a poor boy
who's hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me?
Men are tied in chains of silence
I look on violence up, down, left and right
Is there no hope of light?
The peaceful hand that once
caressed me
Hurts like the rest because
it's turned to stone
Talons of steel have grown
Throw down a line,
have a poor boy
who's drowning in a stormy sea
Throw down a line,
have a poor boy
who's hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me?
Yeah!
Oh, are we?
Yeah, go down a line
Have a book boy who's a
-drownin' in a stormy sea
Go down a line
Have a book boy who's a
-hangin' in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me?
See the moon it's getting nearer
But no more clearer than the earth below
What do we really know?
I feel the stab of pain returning
Despair is burning in my heart again
Why don't they see the end?
Throw down a line
Help a poor boy who's a
drowning in a stormy sea
Yeah, throw down the line
Help a poor boy who's a
hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me?
Let's sing it again
Throw down the line
Help a poor boy who's a
drowning in a stormy sea
Yeah, throw down the line
Help a poor boy who's a
hanging in a nowhere tree
Have you got a place for me?
You
