Burned Down Bridge - RealAudio format

Burned Down Bridge - Windows Media format

The telephone rang quarter past nine
It sent a shiver running down my spine
I don't know why, I can't explain
Somehow I knew you were back again
Blazing across my memory is the smoke
And the ashes of what used to be

I'm sorry to hear about your pain
No need to explain
I know all about loss
To get to me, you'll have to cross

(Chorus)
A burned down bridge
Across the rift that lies between us
A chasm you created
Between your heart and mine
A burned down bridge
And your fingerprints are on it
If you think I'll walk upon it
I got a bridge I'll sell to you

You built a bridge across my fears
Tenderly dried all my tears
You said our love would pass the test
I gave my all, you took my best
On your way out of town
You torched that bridge and you burned it down

(Bridge)
You must think me quite the fool
But I've learned the golden rule
Burn me once, shame on you
Burn me twice, shame on me

(Chorus)
A burned down bridge
Across the rift that lies between us
A chasm you created
Between your heart and mine
A burned down bridge
And your fingerprints are on it
If you think I'll walk upon it
I got a bridge I'll sell to you

A burned down bridge
Across the rift that lies between us
A chasm you created
Between your heart and mine
A burned down bridge
And your fingerprints are on it
If you think I'll walk upon it
I got a bridge I'll sell to you
