[English]

How you doing, darling?

How you getting on?

Any horses runnin'

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 okay

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 and it's so slow

I'm up and down like a yo-yo

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 mom and dad?

How's your brother too?

My folks are holding up

My sister's pulling through

And 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 and it's so slow

I'm up and down like a yo-yo

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 fine and then I'm not

I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop

I can't do this alone

And time flies and it's so slow

I'm up and down like a yo-yo

I can't do this alone

See I've tried and I can't pull the sword from the stone

...
