Lyrics Broken Toys - Jerry Jeff Walker

Broken Toys

There’s not much to say for what was mine today
But when tomorrow comes I’ll make my way
Had planned to build a dream or two today
But everything I tried turned out mistakes
Won’t stay down long, tomorrow is my day
Casting nets catch dreams; try for what seems to be
Bend that willow round to shape things as I see
Finding that some cards are drifting in the sea
And no matter how I play them they’ll trick me
That was this day, tomorrow I’ll be free
Today played unfair; left me hung up, nowhere
But though it tries to break me, I don’t care
Tried to bring my ship in tow to land somewhere
But today is just another chance that’s left me there
Broken toys today, tomorrow’s my repair
There’s not much to say for what was mine today
Won’t stay down long, tomorrow is my day
