Lyrics "You fondle the pipa and play the strings, and I sit in front of the performer's podium. How can I spread love words to my heart? White hair will finish the play in a hundred years, and the breeze will brush your face, like a flower that once smiled sweetly. How can the beauty in painting stop at paper? " From the song "Pull the String". Painting Leaving the String is a song sung, written and composed by Helen and arranged by Sun and Z Ryan. It was included in the album of the same name "Drawing from the String", which was released on August 4th, 2002/kloc-0.
