[00:00.91]Crack In The Wall - Suzanne Vega [00:04.60]A crack appeared inside a wall, [00:08.86]A door sprang up around it. [00:13.69]Each of these so finely drawn [00:17.73]I could not believe I found it. [00:20.90] [00:23.18]A wildish wind blew it open wide, [00:27.57]My childish mind followed on outside, [00:31.66]And so I found myself among [00:35.81]My hearts delight surrounded. [00:39.52] [00:45.35]A world of wonder lay without, [00:49.48]It was all of nature’s calling. [00:54.15]With field and forest, clouds and sun [00:58.55]Cascades of salt water falling. [01:01.80] [01:03.79]Heights and valleys, dark ravines [01:08.47]Ivy thick and wild, deep and thorny scenes, [01:12.28]And yet each thing did love its place [01:16.60]In the lap of all of nature’s sprawling. [01:20.41] [01:23.48]And so and so it goes. [01:26.95] [01:32.53]And so and so it goes. [02:24.74]I asked the one whose land this was [02:29.15]If I might have a token [02:33.70]To take with me back to the other side [02:37.83]To have and to keep unspoken. [02:41.64] [02:43.82]I asked three times and was thrice denied. [02:48.18]I asked again without my pride [02:51.97]And found I’d lost that world I’d lived [02:56.31]Returned as one now broken, [02:59.85] [03:00.91]To a crumb, a rag, a withered leaf [03:06.07]In the chilly winds of cold relief [03:09.88]I knew myself as I had been, [03:14.34]As from a dream awoken. [03:18.10] [03:21.34]And so and so it goes. [03:24.53] [03:30.23]And so and so it goes. [03:39.26]And so and so it goes. [03:42.91] [03:48.40]And so and so it goes. [03:59.62]But then… a crack appeared inside a wall [04:04.16]And a door sprang up around it. [04:09.06]
