Burning Bridges

Yesterday she thanked me

For oilin that front door

This morning when she wakes

She wont be thankful anymore

Shell never know how much I cared

Just that I couldnt stay

And Ill never know the reason

Why I always run away.

(chorus)

Burning bridges one by one

What Im doin cant be undone

And Im always hoping someday

Im gonna stop this runnin around

But every time the chance comes up

Another bridge goes down.

Last night we talked of old times

Families and home towns

Whe wondered if wed both agree

On where wed settle down

And I told her that wed cross that bridge

Whenever it arrived

Now through the flames I see her

Standin on the other side

*chorus*

Like ashes on the water

I drift away in sorrow

Knowing that the day

My lessons finally learned

Ill be standing at a river

Staring out across tomorrow

And the bridge I need to get there

Will be a bridge that I have burned.

*chorus*

Another bridge goes down
