Throw it all away

 I see cars in the night

I see all those bright lights

and the following flights

Of the dragonfly by the moon

It's not too soon

Oh it's over like the clover

In the pale afternoon


Oh the winter is silent

Oh paths of pilots

Oh they throw it all away 

With the hay

And the fans of the fire

That burn ever higher

They fork it away

They fork it away


And any distance is here

Follow me, follow me

I walk if it's near 

Oh far away

Oh yes just follow me

Oh just follow me

Throw away the key

Follow me

And throw it to the hay

Follow me 

And throw it all away, all away

Oh throw it all away


In the summer when you loved me

It was different

It was lovely

But you said with hay

Throw it all away

All away, throw it all away

All away with the hay

Yes the sky is turning grey

Now throw it all away


And the buzzards in clay

The foot prints only stay

For they throw it all away

All away

And the night eagle is on watch

And the sparrow on the hutch

And they throw it all away

All away
