Slender Thread - Billy Eckstine

There’s an angel on the head of a needle

Threading the needle and sowing away

Sowing away

Sowing threshes little moments together

Making a minute, making an hour

Making a day

But the thread is so slender, so easy to tear

Nothing more than a dream, some hope and a prayer

When nobody seems to need you and all alone you stand

The core that holds you together unravels strand by strand

Strand by strand

'Til all that’s remaining is one slender thread

Only one slender thread, and if that goes

Who knows
