Hangin' On By A Thread Lyrics - Kim Carnes

(Kim Carnes) 

A familiar story 

A sad affair of the heart 

We spend all this time 

Trying to find 

The glow in the dark 

Gentle changes 

The eyes still look the same 

A familiar heartbeat 

I go weak 

When you walk in 

I'm hangin' on by a thread 

Too many voices in my ear 

Too many memories locked in here 

I'm hangin' on by a thread 

Too many voices in my ear 

We hurt each other 

And wonder why 

We lie broken in two 

I was dreamin' 

You were here with me 

And through a open window 

We could look through 

Straight to the sea 

I'm hangin' on by a thread 

Too many voices in my ear 

Too many memories locked in here 

I'm hangin' on by a thread 

Too many voices in my ear 

We hurt each other 

And wonder why 

We lie broken in two 

And if I lose you now 

Lose you now
