THE BRIDGE There's a new moon risin' on the city tonight Lookin' like a brand new day Rooftops swimmin' in a river of light Over a perfect getaway A phantom rider on a silver streak engine Ridin' shotgun in the shade Hidin' in the dark shafts after sundown Deep inside the cloak of a saint Time enough comin' on For chasin' shadows till half past dawn So raise a glass for the ones still alive And turn the music up loud Never mind about the phantom tonight There's a bridge above the thunderclouds Cold shadows crawlin' 'cross the depot Final bus been and gone Stuck out on the wrong side of the river Watch the water moving on Hear the howling of a downtown train Hear the blue dogs moan The low whistlin' of a late night wind Wanderin' the train yards alone Time enough for comin' round For sailing out and spinning sounds So raise a glass for the ones still around And take it to the street Raise the glasses as we dance through the town And to the other side of The Bridge Ther's a new moon risin' on the city tonight Flowin like waterfalls Naked idols on the edge of a knife Sit in stone in concrete halls And watch the shadows crawlin' over the streets (Somewhere for the dogs to hide) The phantom rider ride and knows how to speak Adress the visage of the idol Time, enough time run out Time to stand and to break out So raise your glasses for the big blue sky And pay heed to that restless itch Sun's risin' and we're ready to ride The road across The Bridge Words and music Tor Kristian Berg 2003 |
