Burning Bridges

Album: Ropin' The Wind (1991)
  • Yesterday she thanked me
    For oiling that front door
    This morning when she wakes
    She won't be thankful anymore

    She'll never know how much I cared
    Just that I couldn't stay
    Shell never know the reason why
    I always run away

    [Chorus:]

    Burning bridges
    One by one
    What I'm doing
    Can't be undone

    And I'm always hoping someday
    I'm gonna stop this running round
    But every time the chance comes up
    Another bridge goes down

    Last night we talked of old times
    Families and home towns
    She wondered if we both agree on
    Where we'd settle down

    And I told her that we'd cross that bridge
    Whenever it'd arrive
    Now through the flames I see her standing
    On the other side

    Burning bridges
    One by one
    What I'm doing
    Can't be undone

    And I'm always hoping someday
    I'm gonna stop this running round
    But every time the chance comes up
    Another bridge goes down

    Like ashes on the water
    I drift away in sorrow
    Knowing that the day my lessons finally learned
    I'll be standing at a river
    Staring out across tomorrow
    And the bridge I need to get there
    Will be a bridge that I have burned

    Burning bridges
    One by one
    What I'm doing
    Can't be undone

    And I'm always hoping someday
    I'm gonna stop this running round
    But every time the chance comes up
    Another bridge goes down

    Another bridge goes down Writer/s: BROWN, MCDONALD, VAN GENNIP
