Lyrics

Throw Love Away
Verse: Walking a mile to the closest train station
Baggage carried doesn't equal the weight in my heart
For yielding to the temptation of lace and beads, and silk negligee
The wedding band is loosened on my finger
A One-night stand and I am on my own
I threw love away


Verse: My ticket purchased, on an empty bench I sit
Watching children chase a cat, its speed enables it to get away
Wish I could have told my lustful body to run like that
Train whistles, and steam fills the sky
I wish a genie would appear, I'd make a wish to be back home again
But I threw love away

Chorus: No longer our marriage vows before us
Just a piece of paper saying null and void
Until death do us part has been forgotten
Because I was careless with our love

Verse: "All aboard" I hear the conductor call,
Traveling farther down the road
I grab my luggage, shift my hat upon my head
God can you hear me pray?
She's the one I love, I made a mistake
I threw our love away

Chorus: No longer our marriage vows before us
Just a piece of paper saying null and void
Until death do us part has been forgotten
Because I was careless with our love

Bridge: Maybe time will heal the hurt, maybe God's mercy will unfold
Darling, you're in my heart forever, I admit that I was wrong
Here's a letter, signed with my tears and sealed with hunger for your touch
One chance is all I need to show you,
I've learned what love is all about

Chorus: No longer our marriage vows before us
Just a piece of paper saying null and void
Until death do us part has been forgotten
Because I was careless with our love
