The Bridge

Come and see me I won't tell a soul

Cause people like to talk round here

I miss you so much I've been so down and out

And I know how she'd feel if she ever found out

I'll take the chance I'm not after romance

Or your fortune and fame or part of your name

You put the friendship on hold and hung up the phone

But she holds the cards and she runs the show

And that's the way it has to be Have I lost a friend

You have a heart, you take a risk

Throw away the god that you've got strapped to your wrist

Block up your ears if she starts to bitch

Whatever you do, babe, don't burn down the bridge

Well, I've seen love come I've seen love go

I've seen friends disappear

Sometimes there's no goodbye and no reply

And there's just no point in questioning why

The changes life brings are like the songs that we sing

Freedom may ring through the notes and the strings

I have no regrets, never forget

The words that were spoken on the night we met

And whatever happens to dreams when they become reality...

Did you lose your direction lose your perception

Of the man that you wanted to be

Did she pass the torch of loneliness that burns up your desire

And how many friends will you lose in the end

Now that the bridge has caught on fire, fire....

So, will you have a heart you take a risk

Throw away the god that you've got strapped to your wrist

Block up your ears if she starts to bitch

Whatever you do, babe, don't burn down the bridge

Burn down the bridge, don't burn it down
