pulling on a line
great lake swimmers
the line runs through like a train in a book
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
oh i'm just pulling on a line
i'm just pulling on a line
but sometimes it pulls on me
it inks across the freshly fallen snow
where only those embracing coldness would go
in whistles and in whispers and sometimes in howls
it sings to me sweetly from trees and in vowels
i'm just pulling on a line
oh i'm just pulling on a line
i'm just pulling on a line
but sometimes it pulls on me
it writes itself across the dark sky
electric flashes ending with a sigh
it weaves itself into a fabric so true
and flows just like the river
i'm just pulling on a line
oh i'm just pulling on a line
i'm just pulling on a line
but sometimes it pulls on me
