Up and down

Here in my mind
There's no disguising you
I start to begin
Beside of you

I'm calling
I'm calling

You get serious when you talk about
Things you know you know about
A loyal mind with a grip
On a world that can slip from under you

We disappear, reappear and you still make
Sense to me, that recipe
Write things down, how they sound and the ground
Can open up, and comfort us

My old friend, what a friend of mine
Tying knots on a string of time
Haul me up when the time has come
Skipping rope, when we're having fun

Up and down

Sing when you talk, I'll listen
Sing when you think I'm near
Can't be a song without you
Harmonise, sing your memory here

You get emotional
When you talk about Lucy, Jo or family
A loyal love is a gift in a world that can shift
From under you

We're not around, then around and the games
Will get more fun as we like to win
And win we do, with your love, with the crew
Adoring your move, to three from just two

My old friend, what a friend of mine
Tying knots on a string of time
Haul me up when the time has come
Skipping rope, when we're having fun

Up and down

Sing when you talk, I'll listen
Sing when you think I'm near
Can't be a song without you
Harmonise, sing your memory here

Can't think of me without you
Up and down gonna be that's the deal

Always have a day in a month to be yours now
Always have a month in a year to be yours now
Always have a ground for an ear to be yours now
Always have ways to your house in my head now

You are the world
I am your people

This refrain
We are calling this refrain
