Crack In The Wall

[Verse 1] A crack appeared inside a wall A door sprang up around it Each of these so finely drawn I could not believe I found it [Refrain] G                       D9sus A wildish wind blew it open wide G                          D9sus My childish mind followed on outside And so I found myself among My heart’s delight surrounded [Verse 2] A world of wonder lay without It was all of nature’s calling With field and forest clouds and sun Cascades of salt water falling [Refrain] G                         D9sus With heights and valleys dark ravines G                     D9sus Ivy thick and wild deep and thorny scenes And yet each thing did love its place In the lap of all of nature’s sprawling [Bridge] G7/D            D9sus       And so and so it goes G7/D            D9sus     And so and so it goes     [Verse 3] I asked the one whose land it was If I could have a token To take with me back to the other side To have and to keep unspoken [Refrain] G                           D9sus I asked three times and was thrice denied G             D9sus I asked again without my pride And found I’d lost that world I’d lived Returned as one now broken [Refrain] G                  D9sus G                      D9sus In the chilly winds of cold relief I knew myself as I had been As from a dream awoken [Bridge] G7/D            D9sus      And so and so it goes     G7/D            D9sus               And so and so it goes     [Outro] But then a crack appeared inside a wall And a door sprang up around it
