Текст песни Hanging By a Thread (Live) ( 2014 - Remaster) - Live; 2014 - Remaster - Mike + The Mechanics

And through the grief and pain, I'm half insane

I hear it then I start to go (hang him by a thread)
I recognise the pain, a time to play
Then stuck me to the afterglow (hang him by a thread)
Then I wake up wet, soaked in sweat
Tell you all you want to know (hang him by a...)
