Fraying bits of twine
Entangled in the remnants of the
Knot I left behind
And asking you to help me make it
Finally unwind
But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund
If you overpray
And when the line is breaking
And when I'm near the end
When all the time spent leading
I've been following instead
When all my thoughts and memories are
Left hanging by a thread
God never listens...
Stranded on this slender string
The minutes seem to last a lifetime
Dangling here between the light above
And blue below that drags me down
But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
And you don't get a refund
If you overpray
Swinging on the lifeline Fraying bits of twine Entangled in the remnants of the Knot I left behind And asking you to help me make it Finally unwind But God never listens to what I say God never listens to what I say And you don't get a refund If you overpray And when the line is breaking And when I'm near the end When all the time spent leading I've been following instead When all my thoughts and memories are Left hanging by a thread God never listens... Stranded on this slender string The minutes seem to last a lifetime Dangling here between the light above And blue below that drags me down But God never listens to what I say God never listens to what I say And you don't get a refund If you overpray Explain Request ×
