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 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
Harsh, you said, now you walk away
But I left the gold for you to find
When you broke the bridge on your side

    Her voice is perfect for this piece. I've always wondered why she didn't become better known or appreciated.

    This is such a wonderful work. I am inspired by the 'space', though the piano work is very full.
    I love this.
