Cross Over The Bridge
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.
If you're a guy that's had a gal in each and every port
And you've forgot the rules of love
That life has always taught
And if you broke as many hearts as ripples in a stream
Well, brother, here's the only way that you can be redeemed
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way o'livin', cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
If you have built a boat to take you to the greener side
And if that boat is built of ev'ry lie you ever lied
You'll never reach the Promised Land of love, I guarantee
'cause lies cannot hold water and you'll sink into the sea
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way o'livin', cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
I know it isn't easy to resist temptation's call
But think of how your broken heart
Will hurt you when you fall
'cause some day you will find that
You are hopelessly in love
And she'll belong to someone else as sure as stars above
Cross over the bridge, cross over the bridge
Change your reckless way o'livin', cross over the bridge
Leave you fickle past behind you
And true romance will find you
Brother, cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
Cross over the bridge
