Shovels & Rope - Bridge On Fire lyrics

The old bridge is on fire and I’m the one to blame A stone cold igniter of a violent flame Suffer all my brothers and the family name Like worn out lovers, nobody was gonna change Our backs were weary and I, I had enough And you said I want you to know what you’re walking away from But it was not enough The old bridge is on fire and tearing at our clothes Some deadly unnamed fighter, here come the final blows We’re coughing up our failures and choking on our lows Leaving a trail behind us of blood and broken bones Our backs were weary and I, I had enough And you said I want you to know what you’re walking away from But it was not enough, no it was not enough Easy come (easy come), easy go (easy go) It’s a long way home, it’s a long way home Our backs are weary and I, I had enough And you said I want you to know what you’re walking away from But it was not enough, no The old bridge is on fire
