lyrics

BRIDGES
(JOHN HARRIS)

A bridge is a crossing to the same end
It's people to people and then back again
A bridge gives a city its sense of pride
Be it over the Mekong or over the Clyde

Bridges are stone wooden or steel
To bear the great weight of the boot and the wheel
A bridge in a battle is worth fighting for
A bridge is a prize in peace and in war

A bridge is a river over the sky
A bridge is a river o’er the sky

A bridge is a place where you take a fall
When there's no one to turn to―no one at all
A bridge has a side hidden from light
The homeless find shelter under its flight

CHORUS

Bridges and lovers are deeply entwined
They’re seen on the bridge o’ the river that winds
A bridge is an excellent place to be kissed
The crossing alone your lover you'll miss

CHORUS

As we travel the roads and rails of our time
We come to a bridge at the end of the line
A bridge that will take you to the unknown
Every woman and man must cross it alone

MUSIC + LYRIC: John Harris
