The Bridge Lyrics - Joe Jackson

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 hack 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
