[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] A wildish wind blew it open wide 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] With heights and valleys dark ravines 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] I asked three times and was thrice denied I asked again without my pride And found I’d lost that world I’d lived Returned as one now broken [Refrain] 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
