Bridges burning gladly
Merging with the shadows,
Flickering between the lines.
Stolen moments floating softly on the air,
Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher.
Ancient bonds are breaking,
Moving on and changing sides.
Dreaming of a new day,
Cast aside the other way.
Magic visions stirring,
Kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.
The doorway stands ajar,
The walls that once were high.
Beyond the gilded cage,
Beyond the reach of ties.
The moment is at hand.
She breaks the golden band.
I can feel a strong desire,
A distant fire burning through the past
Deep inside my heart is yearning,
A bridge is burning
There's just no turning back
After all the hell I've tasted,
Years I've wasted,
Love that slipped away
Suddenly a vision shook me,
I see the fool I'd become content to play
Over one-way streets in blindin' heat
I carry this torch alone
I ask for no directions home
*You can call out my name but I won't return
I'm a fugitive of love and this heart's been burned
Burnin' bridges behind me
You can follow me down but it's plain to see
I'm a victim of the burn and it's third degree
Setting bridges on fire*
I will go to any length
To find the strength
To face the night alone
Standing on the edge of time,
I cross the line
My heart becomes my own
Gonna tell you why you're a fool
To try to cross a burning bridge
It's a long hard fall from the top of the ridge
