Lyrics: The Bridge
Album: Heaven & Hell
Artist: 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
