Lifeboy

Swinging on the lifeline
Fraying bits of twine
Entangled in the remnants of the
Knot I left behind
And asking you to help me make it
Finally unwind

But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
So very, so very hard
And you won't get a refund
If you overpray

And when the line is breaking
And when I'm near the end
When all the time's spent leading
I've been following instead
When all my thoughts and memories are
Left hanging by a thread

But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
So very, so very hard
And you won't get a refund
If you overpray

Stranded on this slender string
The minutes seems to last a lifetime
Dangling here between the light above
And blue below that drags me down

But God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
So very, so very hard
And you won't get a refund

God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
So very, so very hard
And you won't get a refund
If you overpray

God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
God never listens to what I say
