Bridge Of Sighs
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
