Madeleine Peyroux
Anthem
The birds they sang at the break of day Start again I heard them say
Don't dwell on what has passed away Or what is yet to be
Yeah the wars they will be fought again The holy dove she will be caught again Bought and sold and bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs the signs were sent The birth betrayed, the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood of every government Signs for all to see
I can't run no more with this lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned up a thundercloud And they're gonna hear from me
Ring the bells that still can ring
Letras de cancionesForget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
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
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
