Thrown Away

If ever you had counted The centuries you threw away And all the lies that you had started And all the chances thrown away If I set sail for new horizons Could I still leave you waiting here I would chase just one set of chances The others would be thrown away Even though we tried time wasn't on our side Then there came the day we threw it all away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away My winter nights are so much colder Than yours could ever be I wish I hadn't been a traveller I would not have had to go away When all is said and all is over When all is just a memory Our ships will stay for just a moment Leaving false Gods and hypocrisy Even though we tried time wasn't on our side Then there came the day we threw it all away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Even though we tried time wasn't on our side Then there came the day we threw it all away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away Thrown away --- Thrown Away - Stranglers
