Joe Jackson - The Bridge lyrics

rate me

Down there in the ashes

There's gold and silver too

Dear sister, I try to share with you

Smug, you said

Take your spoils away

And you broke the bridge on your side

You wither my trouble

And all I dream to do

With half-smiles

Until I scream at you

Mad, you said

That's how you repay

But you broke the bridge on your side

And where am I

As I swallow your tears

And the prince with the slipper appears

Do you hack at your heel

Do I try not to feel

I fail with my anger

And with my sympathy

I tremble - so little left for me

Harsh, you said

Now you walk away

But I left the gold for you to find

When you broke the bridge on your side
