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 spring"¦
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
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
Even when I'm alone, I can tell you're with me
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
I'm holding on, holding on by a string
