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
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 back 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
But I left the gold for you to find
When you broke the bridge on your side

Joe Jackson The Bridge Comments
Saw this on PBS in LA '96 or '97. Bought the album, listened to it during the rainy days/nights of that El niño year.
So good.
That's it.
This makes me cry.
Me too.
I love Jane SIberry.
Her voice is perfect for this piece. I've always wondered why she didn't become better known or appreciated.
This song makes me want to cry every time I listen to it. SO beautiful.
This is such a wonderful work. I am inspired by the 'space', though the piano work is very full.
I love this.
thank you so much for posting all of the songs from this perfromance of Heaven and Hell. It is a brilliant work...
my hat is always off to Mr. Jackson for finding the right person to fill each note perfectly through tone and emotion. the talent that went through that studio that night is truly astounding
bellissimo
always makes me cry.....the words are strong
So so true!
Jane Siberry is the only person who could have done this song and made it sound so beautiful. Great song.
