Burning The Bridge Back To You (Larry W. Jones 10/16/2007) (song#5074)

You left for the final time today
This time you say that you'll stay away
You crossed the final bridge on your own
I don't understand why you did, dear
But I can't forbid you 'cause you're gone

Dear, I'm burning the bridge back to you
The river's too wide to swim, it's true
There's only sorrow for tomorrow
As the bridge burns right in two
Dear, I'm burning the bridge back to you

Now, sweetheart, you know my love was true
And I never hid my heart from you
I believed in you so strong
And I don't know what went wrong
I wanted to ask you to return
But now I'll just say so long

Dear, I'm burning the bridge back to you
The river's too wide to swim, it's true
There's only sorrow for tomorrow
As the bridge burns right in two
Dear, I'm burning the bridge back to you

- instrumental -

Dear, tomorrow you may look behind
But a burning bridge is all you'll find
You'll have to just keep right on moving
Until in time you may comphehend
That my burning bridges when you go
Won't mean I'll not love you til the end

Dear, I'm burning the bridge back to you
The river's too wide to swim, it's true
There's only sorrow for tomorrow
As the bridge burns right in two
Dear, I'm burning the bridge back to you
