Yesterday she thanked me
|
For oilin' 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
|
And I'll never know the reason
|
Why I always run away
|
Burning bridges one by one
|
What I'm doin' can't be undone
|
And I'm always hoping someday
|
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
|
But every time the chance comes up
|
Another bridge goes down
|
Last night we talked of old times
|
Families and home towns
|
Whe wondered if we'd both agree
|
On where we'd settle down
|
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge
|
Whenever it arrived
|
Now through the flames I see her
|
Standin' on the other side
|
Burning bridges one by one
|
What I'm doin' can't be undone
|
And I'm always hoping someday
|
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
|
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 lesson's 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 doin' can't be undone
|
And I'm always hoping someday
|
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
|
But every time the chance comes up
|
Another bridge goes down
|
Another bridge goes down
|
