People On a String Lyrics


All things beneath the sun,
Beneath the sun,
Seem real, seem one.
But all things are not the way
they're meant
to be,
Free from all harm and dishonesty,
Dishonesty,
My love.No night,
Not one star that shines,
No star that shines,
Stands truth and time.
When hands faster than the eye can see
Take all we
really love.
Tell me now,
Tell me now.
Hard to keep on waiting.

Can I count on you?
Or do I lose you, too?
Are we like all things?
Like people on a string?When games go beyond the games all others play,
No one
is free from harm and dishonesty,
Dishonesty,
My love.
All things,
all things we know, all things beautiful,
soon we find
they change and go, change and go.
When fools want to take control
Of destiny,
No one with a heart is ever free,
Not ever free,
My love.Tell me now,
Tell me now.
It's hard to keep on waiting.
Can I count on you?
Or do I lose you, too?
Are we like all things?
Like people on a string?

Roberta Flack (b. 1937) is a U.S. singer and pianist.

Born on 10th February 1937 in Asheville, North Carolina, Flack performs in the areas of jazz, soul, and folk, and is best known for singles such as "Killing Me Softly with His Song", which won the 1974 Grammy for Record of the Year, and "Where Is the Love", which was one of her many duets with Donny Hathaway.

Flack began her professional career recording for Atlantic Records without much success, until one of her earliest recordings, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (1969), was included on the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood's directorial debut Play Misty for Me; it became a number-one hit in 1972.
