[00:00.40]Crack In The Wall - Suzanne Vega
[00:05.16]A crack appeared inside a wall
[00:09.32]A door sprang up around it
[00:14.18]Each of these so finely drawn
[00:18.19]I could not believe I found it
[00:23.69]A wildish wind blew it open wide
[00:27.96]My childish mind followed on outside
[00:31.85]And so I found myself among
[00:36.33]My hearts delight surrounded
[00:46.02]A world of wonder lay without
[00:49.80]It was all of nature’s calling
[00:54.69]With field and forest clouds and sun
[00:59.07]Cascades of salt water falling
[01:04.33]Heights and valleys dark ravines
[01:09.05]Ivy thick and wild deep and thorny scenes
[01:13.88]And yet each thing did love its place
[01:16.94]In the lap of all of nature’s sprawling
[01:23.85]And so and so it goes
[02:25.22]I asked the one whose land this was
[02:29.59]If I might have a token
[02:34.16]To take with me back to the other side
[02:38.54]To have and to keep unspoken
[02:44.20]I asked three times and was thrice denied
[02:48.60]I asked again without my pride
[02:51.91]And found I’d lost that world I’d lived
[02:56.81]Returned as one now broken
[03:01.44]To a crumb a rag a withered leaf
[03:06.63]In the chilly winds of cold relief
[03:10.37]I knew myself as I had been
[03:14.70]As from a dream awoken
[03:21.94]And so and so it goes
[03:30.65]And so and so it goes
[03:39.70]And so and so it goes
[04:00.35]But then a crack appeared inside a wall
[04:05.84]And a door sprang up around it
