  • How ya doing darling?
    How you getting on?
    Any horses running
    Worth betting on?
    How's the weather down there?
    I hope you're keeping warm

    How you feeling sweetheart?
    Are you moving on?
    Are you sleeping ok?
    Or do the nights go on and on?
    I hope you're eating well
    I hope you're staying strong

    'Cause I'm fine then I'm not
    I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop
    I can't do this alone
    For time flies then it's so slow
    I'm up and down like a yoyo
    I can't do it on my own
    And I've tried and I can't pull the sword from the stone

    How are your mum and dad?
    How's your Brother too?
    My folks are holding up
    My sister's pulling through
    Both the cats say hi
    I know they miss you too

    Because I'm fine then I'm not
    I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop
    I can't do this alone
    For time flies then it's so slow
    I'm up and down like a yoyo
    I can't do it on my own
    'Cause I've tried and I can't pull the sword from the stone

    Because I'm fine and then I'm not
    I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop
    I can't do this alone
    Time flies then it's so slow
    I'm up and down like a yoyo
    I can't do it on my own
    See I've tried and I can't pull the sword from the stone Writer/s: Michael David Rosenberg

  • Pearl Gamede from South AfricaThis song remind of my Man whom we are in long distance relationship, I love it so much .
  • Lisa W From Austin Tx from UsaI just lost my husband after an 8+ yr cancer journey. I feel like we are talking to one another in these lyrics. He from above and me from below our earths sky.
  • Enya from BelgiumMy question is how beautiful can music be? Whereas this interpretation is so beautiful, I had a very different one. For me this song is a conversation between a grandchild and one of their grandparents. The first verses the grandparents asks how his/her grandchild is. The grandchild answers in a way that is very normal, he/she feels fine and then he or she is not because they feel the emptiness of their grandparent’s passing. Then next verses the grandchild asks them how the folks are and how his/her brother is, probably because the grandchild believes they’re reunited now.
    This song has helped me the last few weeks to help process the loss of my grandfather. Where I’m fine and then I’m not and the time flies but at the same time it’s standing still.
    It’s proof that so many people can interpret a song different from others.
