Seven Bridges Road

Steve Young

There are stars in the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight and moss in the trees
Down the seven bridges road

I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from you and go
Runnin' like a child beneath warm stars
Down the seven bridges road

There are stars in the southern sky
And if ever you decide you should go
There is a taste of time sweet as honey
Down the seven bridges road
Down the seven bridges road

Note: Steve Young's Web sites lists the third line of the last verse
as "There's a taste of time-sweetened honey", which is also the way
that I transcribed it off of his album, "Rock, Salt & Nails". WH.
