Lyrics Smokey Robinson

Smokey Robinson

Hanging On by a Thread

We used to be tapestry

Now we're only hanging on by a thread

Tightly woven

Sewn together by the ties that bind

Joined together by a oneness of mind

Then it happened, something happened

And I know it's just not in my head

We used to be tapestry

Now we're only hanging on by a thread

Close-knit people

So close until not even light could shine through

Nothing could ever separate me from you

Then it happened, something happened

That started us to unravel and shred

Now we're only hanging on by a thread

By the thin line between go and stay

I can see a break up ahead

Oh, then it happened, something happened

That started us to unravel and shred

Now we're only hanging on by a thread

By the thin line between go and stay

I can see a break up ahead

We used to be tapestry

Now we're only hanging on by a thread
