Crack In The Wall - Suzanne Vega [00:00:00]
A crack appeared inside a wall,[00:00:04]
A door sprang up around it.[00:00:08]
Each of these so finely drawn[00:00:13]
I could not believe I found it.[00:00:17]
A wildish wind blew it open wide,[00:00:23]
My childish mind followed on outside,[00:00:27]
And so I found myself among[00:00:31]
My hearts delight surrounded.[00:00:35]
A world of wonder lay without,[00:00:45]
It was all of nature’s calling.[00:00:49]
With field and forest, clouds and sun[00:00:54]
Cascades of salt water falling.[00:00:58]
Heights and valleys, dark ravines[00:01:03]
Ivy thick and wild, deep and thorny scenes,[00:01:08]
And yet each thing did love its place[00:01:12]
In the lap of all of nature’s sprawling.[00:01:16]
And so and so it goes.[00:01:23]
And so and so it goes.[00:01:32]
I asked the one whose land this was[00:02:24]
If I might have a token[00:02:29]
To take with me back to the other side[00:02:33]
To have and to keep unspoken.[00:02:37]
I asked three times and was thrice denied.[00:02:43]
I asked again without my pride[00:02:48]
And found I’d lost that world I’d lived[00:02:51]
Returned as one now broken,[00:02:56]
To a crumb, a rag, a withered leaf[00:03:00]
In the chilly winds of cold relief[00:03:06]
I knew myself as I had been,[00:03:09]
As from a dream awoken.[00:03:14]
And so and so it goes.[00:03:21]
And so and so it goes.[00:03:30]
And so and so it goes.[00:03:39]
And so and so it goes.[00:03:48]
But then… a crack appeared inside a wall[00:03:59]
And a door sprang up around it.[00:04:04]
