π Lyrics
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
The birds they sang at the break of day
Start again, I heard them say
Do not 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 holy dove is never free
Ring the bell that still can ring (Ring the bells)
Forget your perfect offering (Ooh)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
(Oh) That's how the light gets in
(Ah)
We asked for signs and the signs were sent
The birth delayed, he marriage spent
The widowhood of every government
Those were the signs for all to see
I can't run no more, oh, with that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
Ah, but they've summoned, they have summoned up a thundercloud
And they're gonna hear from me, they're gonna hear from me
(Ring, ring, ring, ring)
Ring the bell that still can ring (Ring the bells)
Forget your perfect offering (Ooh)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
(Oh)
(Ah)
You can add up the parts, you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march on your little broken drum
Every heart to love will come
(Ring, ring, ring, ring) But like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring (Ring the bells)
Forget your perfect offering (Oo-ah)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
(Ha) That's how the light gets in
(Ring the bells that still can ring)
Forget your perfect offering (Ooh)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
(Ah) That's how the light gets in
That's how the light (Ah)
From Barcelona on the bandurria, the great virtuoso Javier Mas
From the city of ChiΘinΔu in the Republic of Moldova
The king of the violin, Alexandru Bublitchi
From the conservatory of music in the University of Texas
In Austin, Texas
The irresistible guitar of Professor Mitch Watkins
From Mexico City, Mexico, our timekeeper
The prince of precision, Rafael Bernardo Gayol
On the keyboards
An eminent composer and bandleader in his own right
Tonight, tomorrow and the next day
The foremost exponent of the Hammond B-3 organ
The peerless Neil Larsen
On vocals, co-writer of Everybody Knows
My Secret Life, Waiting for the Miracle, Alexandra Leaving
So many tunes I am privileged to sing
My collaborator, the incomparable Sharon Robinson
On vocals, harp, guitar
The angelic harmonies of Hattie and Charley Webb
The sublime Webb Sisters
On vocals, upright bass and electric bass
Our musical director, the venerable Roscoe Beck
Oh, friends, we'll be back in a few minutes
With the second half of the show
Thank you for your kind attention
(Whoo!)
(Thank you!)
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
The birds they sang at the break of day
Start again, I heard them say
Do not 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 holy dove is never free
Ring the bell that still can ring (Ring the bells)
Forget your perfect offering (Ooh)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
(Oh) That's how the light gets in
(Ah)
We asked for signs and the signs were sent
The birth delayed, he marriage spent
The widowhood of every government
Those were the signs for all to see
I can't run no more, oh, with that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud
Ah, but they've summoned, they have summoned up a thundercloud
And they're gonna hear from me, they're gonna hear from me
(Ring, ring, ring, ring)
Ring the bell that still can ring (Ring the bells)
Forget your perfect offering (Ooh)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
(Oh)
(Ah)
You can add up the parts, you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march on your little broken drum
Every heart to love will come
(Ring, ring, ring, ring) But like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring (Ring the bells)
Forget your perfect offering (Oo-ah)
There is a crack, a crack in everything
(There is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in
