Suzanne Vega - Cracking Lyrics






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...

    Wundervoll

  3. F.... S....

    Mi era piaciuta subito tantissimo questa canzone del 1° Album di Suzanne Vega, dal 1985 quando fu pubblicata, sia per la musica e il significato della canzone e per questo modo asciutto ed essenziale di narrare…una poetica molto urbana in tante canzoni di Suzanne Vega

  4. l.... ....

    so wonderful she changed my life

  5. M.... ....

    bon sang

  6. l.... ....

    Still a shining light:)

  7. l.... ....

    This album was life changing..words would not describe it

  8. F.... H....

    Room for 222.

  9. F.... H....

    and something... is.. cracking... I don't know where. The sun, is blinding, dizzy golden dancing green, thru the park in the afternoon... wondering where in the HELL I have ben... my footsteps are... broken. A lot.

    F.... H....

    Walk with me, and we will see what we have got.

  10. F.... H....

    I used to be strong.

  11. M.... S....

    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...

    I have been intrigued by Suzanne Vega from the moment I heard this song over 30 years ago. It still gives me chills.

  13. I.... M....

    me aged 17 in 1985, left home for the first time, quietly going mad with schizophrenia in a Scottish autumn/winter. Yep, this song really spoke to me!

    I.... M....

    scottish winters are tough. i dont miss them. Similar memories of this so
    ng but happier than yours i think.

  14. M.... D....

    One of my very favourite songs ...

  15. r.... ....

    Such a beautiful album. I think it's her best after 99.9 degrees.

  16. T.... ....

    Robert Smith of The Cure admitted a few days ago on BBC Radio 6 Music that he liked Suzanne Vega's debut album so much that he ripped off one of the songs for an old B side of The Cure. The melody of "Cracking" is similar to "2 Late" from 1989: https://youtu.be/OJIeEIwZJtk

    T.... ....

    TCDB I just listened to that song by the cure, it's really good! I feel like i should say thanks, thanks!

    T.... ....

    You're welcome! :) I'm happy to hear that you like it. Me too.

  17. J.... P....

    This girl gets right inside of you. She just has a way that's so precious and so true.

    P.... A....

    She talks of the human condition and our fantasies

  23. D.... C....
