The Bridge

[Verse 1: Jane Siberry]

Down there in the ashes

There's gold and silver too

Dear sister

I try to share with you

Smug, you said

Take your spoils away

And you broke the bridge on your side

[Verse 2: Jane Siberry]

You wither my troubles

And all I dream to do

With half-smiles

Until I scream at you

Mad, you said

That's how you repay

But you broke the bridge on your side

[Bridge: Jane Siberry]

And where am I

As I swallow your tears

And the prince with the slipper appears?

Do you hack at your heel?

Do I try not to feel?

[Verse 3: Jane Siberry]

I fail with my anger

And with my sympathy

I tremble

So little left for me

Harsh, you said

Now you walk away

But I left the gold for you to find

When you broke the bridge on your side
