The Bridge

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jane Siberry] 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 [Verse 2: Jane Siberry] You wither my troubles 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 [Bridge: Jane Siberry] 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? [Verse 3: Jane Siberry] 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
