Bridge Of Sighs Lyrics - Singles - Ralph Mctell

You say, too much water 

Has gone under the bridge by now. 

I say that bridges 

Are all that's left for us now. 

Each side of the river, the city is burning 

There is no turning back. 

Oh, what else can I say? There's no loss of face 

And nothing's betrayed, there's no disgrace 

In meeting on the bridge. 

You'll have to trust me, don't bring any, 

Any of them so-called friends 

And everyone's talking, they soon start shouting 

And we all know how that one ends. 

You say the daylight, I say the night-time 

Let's meet in the twilight zone. 

Don't be afraid you'll come to no harm 

Nothing's betrayed, we'll both be unarmed 

And both of us must come alone. 

A Bridge of sighs for the compromise 

Does anyone get what they really wish? 

A handshake, a heartbreak, maybe a parting with a kiss. 

Ah, don't be afraid, there is no disgrace 

No one's betrayed, there's no loss of face 

In meeting on the bridge. 

Repeat chorus
