It’s not the first time
It won’t be the last
That I walk this broken line
Between the darkness
And the break of day
Between the blessing and the curse
Hanging by a thread

Between the devil and the clear blue sky
Between the fire and the storm
Between the camel and the needle’s eye
Between the hound and the wolf
Hanging by a thread

SOLO

Beneath the softness of a gentle hand
Between the heartbeat and the sigh
Beneath the deadlock of a one-track mind
Between the promise and the lie
Hanging by a thread

It’s not the first time
Bet it’s not the last
That I walk this broken line
Between the gloaming
And the still of night
Between the blessing and the curse
Hanging by a thread
