Intro : /

The birds they s ang

at the break of day

Start a gain

I heard them s ay

Don't d well on what

has p assed away

or what is y et to be.

The wars they wi ll

be fought again

The hol y dove

be caught agai n

bought and sold

and b ought again

the dove is never fre e.

Ring the be lls that sti ll can ring .

Forget your pe rfect offering .

There is a cr ack, a cra ck, in ever ything.

That's how the ligh t gets in.

We asked for signs

the signs were sent :

the birth betrayed

the marriage spent

the widowhood

of every government -

signs for all to see.

Can't run no more

with the lawless crowd

while the killers in high places

say their prayers out loud.

But they've summed up

a thundercloud

and they're going to hear from me.

(Refrain)

You can add up the parts

but you won't have the sum

You can strike up the march,

there is no drum

Every heart

to love will come

but like a refugee.

(Refrain)

that's how the light gets in
