Lyrics

Verse
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

Ah 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

Chorus
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

Verse
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 that lawless crowd
While the killers say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned up a thundercloud
And they're gonna hear from me

Repeat Chorus

Guitar Solo

Verse
You can add up the parts, but that ain't no sum
You can strike up a march, but that ain't no drum
Every heart, every heart to love will come
But like a refugee

Repeat Chorus x2
