The Bridge - The Magic Lantern

The bridge that we built

Is falling down

Less of a bang, more of a whimper

What’s left on either bank

Is a slowly crumbling start

Distance is the river that

Broke this bridges heart

This bridge was built naively

Without so much as a plan

But believe me when I say

The work was done with honest hands

Oh she’s gone

Oh she’s gone

The bridge that we built

Is falling down

Less of a bang, more of a whimper

What’s left on either bank

Is a slowly crumbling start

Distance is the river that

Broke this bridges heart

With time the bridge it strengthened more

To carry heavy loads

Which in convey we passed over it

Upon newly beaten roads

Oh she’s gone

Oh she’s gone

The bridge that we built

Is falling down

Less of a bang, more of a whimper

What’s left on either bank

Is a slowly crumbling start

Distance is the river that

Broke this bridges heart
