Jerry Jeff Walker - Broken Toys lyrics

rate me

There's not much to say for what was mine today

But when tomorrow comes, I'll make my way

Had planned to build a dream or two today

But everything I tried turned out mistakes

Won't stay down long, tomorrow is my day

Casting nets catch dreams; try for what seems to be

Bend that willow round and shape things as I see

Finding that some cards are drifting in the sea

And no matter how I play them, they'll trick me

That was his day, tomorrow I'll be free

Today played unfair; left me hung up, nowhere

And though it tries to break me I don't care

Tried to bring my ship in tow to land somewhere

Today is just another chance that's left me there

Broken toys today, tomorrow's my repair

There's not much to say for what was mine today

Won't stay down long, tomorrow is my day
