John McGaraghan - Shred Of A String lyrics

I met the good Lord down in New Orleans, And He showed me many things that I aint never seen, And He taught me how to fly like a bird on the wing, But He left me hanging on... on a shred of a string I saw the Devil in the eye of a dream, And now I know everything is not what it seems. Clear as a conscience that aint done a thing, Clouded and clutching on... to a shred of a string I don't want to cry anymore And I'm not scared to die, but for This line that ties me to you And the things that I do when I can't feel a thing... While I'm hanging on... on this shred of a string I found my love in the heart of a thief, But the wings of that dove brought a lifetime of grief. And I'll sing this song, though it don't mean a thing, And I'll just keep swinging on... this shred of a string I don't want to cry anymore And I'm not scared to die, but for This line that ties me to you And the things that I do when I can't feel a thing... While I'm hanging on... on this shred of a string
