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, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

In fact I had also thought about using the last two Cohen lines for this theme - thanks for your thoughtful card!
She is lovely.
Beautiful card Deann! A wonderful take on the theme.
Oh, this is just stunning, Deann. It's such a glorious depiction of light and dark that it just takes my breath away. When coupled with Cohen's stunning verse t moves into the realm of perfect mastery. Beautiful.
