Gossamer Thread
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Talking with the old folks by the wall
Dreaming about new orleans in the fall
And grateful for the time that god allows
And doing my best to keep it hid
Hanging by a gossamer thread...
Roll on up it's feeding time again
A kiss to suck the lightning from the pain
I'm hatching us a plan for busting out
And free of what that bastard did
Hanging by a gossamer thread...
All lit up like the national grid
And hanging by a gossamer thread
You're choking on your daily bread
Hanging by a gossamer thread...
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Dog in the doorway
Dyed in the wool
Away!
I hope that I'm wrong
Hope that I'm wrong
I hope that I'm wrong
Yeah
I hope that I'm wrong
Hope that I'm wrong
I hope that I'm wrong
Yeah!
