Thursday’s Child Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All of my life I've tried so hard
Doing my best with what I had
Nothing much happened all the same
Something about me stood apart
A whisper of hope that seemed to fail
Maybe I'm born right out of my time
Breaking my life in two
[Chorus: Holly Palmer and David Bowie]
Throw me tomorrow
Now that I've really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's child
[Post-Chorus: Holly Palmer]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I cried my heart to sleep
Shuffling days and lonesome nights
Sometimes my courage fell to my feet
Lucky old sun is in my sky
Nothing prepared me for your smile
Lighting the darkness of my soul
Innocence in your arms
[Chorus: Holly Palmer and David Bowie]
Throw me tomorrow
Now that I've really got a chance
Throw me tomorrow
Everything's falling into place
Throw me tomorrow
Seeing my past to let it go
Throw me tomorrow
Only for you I don't regret
That I was Thursday's child
[Post-Chorus: Holly Palmer and David Bowie]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursday's child
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Thursday's child
[Outro: Holly Palmer]
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday born I was
