Voices On A String

When the sun comes up

I can see that you're not here

And the whole world stops

But the wind-up bird keeps winding up its string

And the days go by and you don't come back

But I know you will because there's something pulling both of us

Back and forth, up and down

All around, in and out of love

And I've been holding on

Holding on for so long that I can't let you go

Even when we're apart I can feel you next to me

There's a hidden love connecting us like voices on a string

At the bottom of the well, in the middle of the day

You're the passing sunlight

Stay with me, don't go away

I can hear your voice cutting through the wire

It's the silver spark connecting us and pulling me

Back and forth, up and down

All around, in and out of love

And I've been holding on

Holding on for so long that I can't let you go

Even when we're apart I can feel you next to me

There's a hidden love connecting us like voices on a string

Even when I'm alone I can tell you're with me

There's a hidden love connecting us

And I'm holding on, holding on by a string

Back and forth, up and down

In and out, all around

Back and forth, up and down

In and out, all around this love

Even when we're apart I can feel you next to me

There's a hidden love connecting us

I'm holding on, holding on by a string
