 Intro
The  line runs through  like a train  in a book
Or  meters underwater, ending  with a hook
It  sways in the air  when there's wind  enough to lift,
The  fine ones are boundaries  when There  is a rift
I'm  just pulling on a line,  on a line
I'm  just pulling on a line
I'm  just pulling on a line,  on a line
Sometimes  it pulls on me
The  line, it inks  across the freshly  fallen snow,
Where  only those  embracing coldness  would go
It  whistles and  it whispers, and sometimes  it howls,
It  sings to me  sweetly from the trees  and in vowels
I'm  just pulling on a line,  on a line
I'm  just pulling on a line
I'm  just pulling on a line,  on a line
Sometimes  it pulls on me
The  line, it writes  itself across  the dark sky,
In  the electric  flushes ending  with a sigh
It  weaves itself  into a fabric  so true
and  flows  just like the river, graceful  and blue
I'm  just pulling on a line,  on a line
I'm  just pulling on a line
I'm  just pulling on a line,  on a line
Sometimes  it pulls on me
