Down river from my memories, of all those summer years
You come riding by on horseback crowned with tears
I've watched you from the shadows, behind this wall of trees
I would comfort you if I knew the words to speak

Hey, throw me down a line
You can't make it alone it's a long hard climb
Hey, throw me down a line
I'll keep you company if you don't mind
Throw me down a line

Your friends have gone a little crazy from all that summer heat
And you sit down here crying in defeat
You are so confused and tired, but I know you've done your best
Now you're looking like a kid in your mother's dress

Hey, throw me down a line
You can't make it alone it's a long hard climb
Hey, throw me down a line
I'll keep you company if you don't mind
Throw me down a line

Please let me ride with you cross this mountain
I too have no one to be sharing my lifetime with
'Cause I'm lost like you, not alone we are two
Confused pilgrims

Hey, throw me down a line
You can't make it alone it's a long hard climb
Hey, throw me down a line
I'll keep you company if you don't mind
Throw me down a line

Throw me down a line
Throw me down a line
