Song Day - Throw Me A Line

Song Day - "Throw Me A Line" by Carrie Newcomer

Today's song was suggested by a reader of the blog. I wasn't familiar with it but if you "Google" Carrie Newcomer you can listen by following one of the sites listed. To me, the song speaks to the angst that comes with a bit of encouragement woven in through the lyrics. I haven't re-written it. The lyrics posted below are original.

Why do I worry so much, it can't add a day or year?
It usually comes down to a matter of love or fear.
I really don't know, and I can't tell you why.
One sparrow falls to the ground, and another one flies.

Could you throw me a line
Could you take me in?
The world’s turning faster now
Than it ever has been.
And what used to be sure
Up and walked out the door.
And the old ways I knew
Just don't work anymore.

Some days I’m a bird, some days I am the song.
Some days I am a storm, sometimes I'm just plain wrong.
But there’s a still quiet voice and it sounds a little like mine,
Saying, “You’re right where you should be It's just going to take time.”

When it all breaks down
When there’s nothing to lose
When there's no more to say and there is nothing to prove

Oh yeah bring it on, all things living in you.
You're not just what’s happened, you can be something new.
But what you leave to the shadows, what stays in the dark,
Will grieve you and seize you and cripple your heart.

Could you throw me a line
Could you take me in?
The worlds turning faster
Than it ever has been.
And what used to be sure
Up and walked out the door.
And the old ways I knew
Just don't work anymore.

Have a good and sober day.
