Ron Sexsmith - Wooden Toys lyrics

There's a heavy cloud Hanging over a sweet dream And there's a grave silhouette And a sobering moonbeam This is a lasting love That no sadness can destroy When things get rough But sturdy is wooden toys Wooden toys wouldn't fall apart They would prove too strong Wooden toys wouldn't break a heart They'd never do you wrong There's a building where The disturbed and insane go And on the sidewalk a chalk drawing Happy home and a rainbow Once we were boys and girls Open-hearted and filled with joy But in a plastic world We're discarded like wooden toys Wooden toys wouldn't fall apart They would prove too strong Wooden toys wouldn't break a heart They'd never do you wrong Wooden toys Once we were boys and girls Open-hearted and filled with joy But in a plastic world We're discarded like wooden toys Wooden toys wouldn't fall apart They would prove too strong Wooden toys wouldn't break a heart They'd never do you wrong Wooden toys Wooden toys They'd never do you wrong Wooden toys
