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. 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 that lawless crowd while the killers in high places say their prayers out loud. But they've summoned, they've summoned up a thundercloud and they're going to hear from me. Ring the bells that still can ring ... You can add up the parts but you won't have the sum You can strike up the march, there is no drum Every heart, 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, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack, 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. **** Бродят тени по крышам домов, застревают в глазах Отражаются в лужах, цепляются за фонари Опускается ночь, и ты снова уходишь в себя В твёрдом взгляде — усталость, в быстрых пальцах — тупой карандаш А за белыми стенами — детские страхи и сны И в кривых зеркалах — отражения бессонных ночей За дверными замками — потоки сознания и боль За цветными картинками — чувство ушедшего дня Ты всё думаешь: путь, мол, окончен, ещё одна жизнь прожита (И в беседах твоих всё скользят чужие слова) Но за вечной думой о Смерти таится желание жить Бесконечная тяга к Любви — и её уж не скроешь никак Ты недавно воином слыл — но лежит на полке твой меч Так забудь хоть на время о нём — больше не за что воевать (Я, возможно, неважный мыслитель и плохой советчик в беде — Не могу разобраться, что сказать и о чём промолчать) Ты ловил стрекоз на холмах — в дар даны им четыре крыла И когда-то седлал лошадей — но они неслись под откос И учился словами играть, и молитвы читал по слогам Ну а после ты вырос и забыл всё то, что умел То не гибель и даже не сон —лишь ещё один поворот Ты залечишь ранения и снова пустишься в рост Рядом будут друзья — среди них и я окажусь И под музыку струн заведем мы наш разговор Так и мудрость придёт — значит, будет что Богу сказать У заветных ворот, что над Небом (понятно, каким) Уж и тени мертвы... Живо Слово и Свет Изнутри Живы звёзды и лошади, птицы и души людей... Смотрите также:

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.
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 that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
Ring the bells that still can ring ...
You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march,
there is no drum
Every heart, 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, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, 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.
****
Roam the shadows on the roofs of houses, stuck in the eyes
Reflected in the puddles , cling lights
Night falls and you're leaving again a
In the solid look - fatigue in fast fingers - blunt pencil
And for the white walls - children's fears and dreams
And in a distorting mirror - reflection of sleepless nights
For door locks - streams of consciousness and pain
For color pictures - a sense of the past days
You all think, the way they say, is over , another life is lived
( And in all your conversations slide the words of others )
But for the eternal thought about Death lurks the desire to live
Infinite thirst for love - and it certainly does not hide
You recently had a reputation of a warrior - but on the shelf thy sword
So at least temporarily forget about it - do not fight for what
( I probably unimportant thinker and a bad counselor in trouble -
I can not understand what to say and what to keep silent )
You catch dragonflies in the hills - a gift given to them four wings
And once saddled horses - but they raced downhill
And learned to play words and prayers read by syllables
Well, after you've grown up and forget all the things that could
That is not doom and even a dream - just one more turn
You heal wounds and empty again in growth
Will close friends - among them, and I find myself
And the music of the string 's have our conversation we
And wisdom will come - so that God will say
I cherished goal that over the Sky ( clear how )
Oh, and the shadows are dead ... Word Alive & Light Inside
Alive stars and horses , birds and people's souls ...
