The Bridge -

Was it something I said that made you angry with me

Made you dig a deep river to keep you from me

Oh, the water is rushing, come to sweep me away

'Less I die of sorrow, I will cross it today

I would build me a bridge a hundred meters long

To see the other side of what I did wrong

Well you say you don’t hate me, but I guess that I’m scared

That with a river between us, you’ll no longer care

I would build a boat, and paddle agaist all sorrow

And if I sail down the river, then I’ll be back again tomorrow

I would face cold death, run and leap to your side

And if I fall in the river, I’ll be warmed by your sight

I would beg your forgiveness for the pain I’ve fed

And I’d find the source of the river you’ve bled

Then I’d close the gates of the dam I built there

And never again will you have anything to fear

Well I never knew that your tears ran so deep

But when I’ved dammed those tears, I will kiss your sweet cheek

I will hold you close 'till your tears finally cease

And I’ll sing you a lullaby to bring you peace
