Joan Shelley, Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Bridge lyrics

The bridge so high, the bridge so tall
Here is where it started on the bridge
The moon is big and yellow and
The stars are all a-glow from the bridge
I see reflections in the waters far below

You kissed me for the first time here
And held me awfully tight
And the bridge became our favorite place
We came here often in the night

And one night while standing on the bridge
Desire swept through us both
Passion took us by the hand
And showed us where to go

From the bridge, we saw a meadow
So we ran together there
Where we found love together
Our emotions filled the air

The bridge so wide the bridge so long
Where once we stood together
Tonight I stand alone

Tonight, while standing on the bridge
My heart is beating wild
To think that you could leave me here
With our unborn child

My feet are moving slowly
Ever closer to the edge
Here is where it started
And here is where I'll end it
