Cracking

Suzanne Vega

It's a one time thing

It just happens

A lot

Walk with me

And we will see

What we have got

Ah...



My footsteps are ticking

Like water dripping from a tree

Walking a harline

And stepping very carefully

Ah...



My heart is broken

It is worn out at the knees

Hearing muffled

Seeing blind

Soon it will hit the Deep Freeze



And something is cracking

I don't know where

Ice on the sidewalk

Brittle braches

In the air



The sun

Is blinding

Dizzy golden, dancing green

Through the park in the afternoon

Wondering where the hell

I have been

Ah...
