Andrea Perry Throw Me A Line Lyrics

Throw me a line I'm going down
Don't know how I'll make it back around
Upward and onward they all say
Don't know when I'll see the break of day

Hemmed in it seems on every side
Don't know how to stop a downward slide
Build me a stairway up from here
Been forever since I saw things clearly

Cut off from the sun
Frozen in space
Naked as the moon
Will you show, will you show me to a brighter place

I try and I try but I just can't
Nothing's growing from the seeds I plant
All of my plans have been waylaid
There's no sleeping in the bed I've made

Cut off from the sun
Frozen in space
Naked as the moon
Will you show, will you show me to a brighter place

Please send for help

Cut off from the sun
Frozen in space
Naked as the moon
Will you show, will you show me to a brighter place

Throw me a line
I'm going down
Don't know how I'll make it back around
