The Bridge Lyrics by Joe Jackson

The Bridge Lyrics

    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
