Lyrics
Burn the Bridge, Swim the River
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The past is not past, it sleeps like a shadow
No matter the light, it’s there
It breathes like the moon, waxing and waning
Every word, every move
I’m not afraid to face the time
Let it follow me into the deep of the night
Living so still in stories and homes, mortar is laid to hold
Feel with your feet the, cold iron bars
Lift your head when you fall
I’m not afraid to face the time
Let it follow me into the deep of the night
Have I gone too far to swim back to shore?
Have I gone too far, too far!
