Bridge of Sorrow

Cigarette ends on a nightclub floor All the people you know are going to the door You danced all night tried again and again But you could breathe no life into the tired veins New Year's Eve it's the lowest tide There's a burning emptiness inside Out into the night and the winter's air But you know you can't face another year Don't go to the bridge of sorrow Don't go to the bridge of sorrow You don't belong to a respectable scheme You don't belong in the mainstream You don't belong in the material world You try to talk you were never heard So you're keeping to yourself Doing the best you can It's been this way since time began Don't go to the bridge of sorrow Don't go to the bridge of sorrow Who is to say what is the best to do When the world is as heavy as it is for you There is no comfort by the light of the moon Something is gonna give soon You've run away from the mother and father But you can't escape the heart of the matter 'Cause all around you other lives are falling But voices are heard calling Don't go to the bridge of sorrow Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
