Old Bridges Burn Slow Lyrics - Singles - Billy Joe Royal

Here we go 'round again 

Masqueradin' as long lost friends 

'Cause a memory never dies 

It kinda fades into a lie 

And what da ya know 

Still waters run deep 

Old bridges burn slow 

Still waters run deep, now baby 

Old bridges burn slow 

Let's chalk it all up to our youth 

That's one way to hide from the truth 

I never asks you for a thing and if I had 

You would have told me no 

Still waters run deep 

Old bridges burn slow 

Still waters run deep, now baby 

Old bridges burn slow 

But how many years did I chase after you 

All my mind would allow 

But now I can't break off the past 

And even if I knew how 

Ah, I wouldn't tell it to you, baby 

So why don't we call it a day 

I got nothin' else left to say 

'Cause a dream we both dreamt was 

Just a last ditch attempt to stop the flow 

Still waters run deep 

Old bridges burn slow 

Still waters run deep, now baby 

Old bridges burn slow, mmm 

Don't ya know they burn slow 

In a way I know and I know 

Don't ya know they burn slow 

Still waters run deep 

Old bridges burn slow 

Ahh, how they burn 

Don't ya know they burn slow 

Still waters run deep 

Old bridges burn slow
