Ralph McTell - Bridge Of Sighs lyrics

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
