Cliff In Copenhagen , 26 April 1975 br br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's drowning in the stormy sea br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's hanging in a nowhere tree br Have you got a place for me br Men are tied in chains of silence br I look on violence, up, down, left and right br Is there no hope of light br The peaceful hand that once caressed me br Hurts like the rest, because it's turned to stone br Talons of steel have grown br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's drowning in the stormy sea br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's hanging in a nowhere tree br Have you got a place for me br Yeah, oh help me, yeah br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's drowning in the stormy sea br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's hanging in a nowhere tree br Have you got a place for me br See the moon, it's getting nearer br But no more clearer than the earth below br What do we really know br I feel the stab of pain returning br Despair is burning in my heart again br Why don't they see the end, ooooh br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's drowning in the stormy sea br Yeah, throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's hanging in a nowhere tree br Have you got a place for me br Throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's drowning in the stormy sea br Yeah, throw down a line, help a poor boy br Who's hanging in a nowhere tree br Have you got a place for me br br Songwriter: Hank Marvin br
