Cracking Suzanne Vega

[Verse 1]
It's a one-time thing
It just happens a lot
Walk with me
And we will see what we have got
Ah, ah

[Verse 2]
My footsteps are ticking
Like water dripping from a tree
Walking a hairline
And stepping very carefully
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

[Verse 3]
My heart is broken
It's worn out at the knees
Hearing muffled, seeing blind
Soon it will hit the deep freeze
Ah

[Verse 4]
And something is cracking
I don't know where
Ice on the sidewalk
Brittle branches in the air
