On the Broken Bridge Lyrics

Stones and dust cover the weary road

The river below lies silent and cold

At the edge of the broken bridge

I stood between the past and the present

This bridge once carried those I loved

Hand in hand we walked above

Laughter echoed from the other side

Now replaced by silence far and wide

Like a blade of grass through cracks of stone

Those memories remain never alone

When the bridge fell all time ceased

Though the world moved on I stayed in place

Between the ruins traces remain

Of moments we left carved in the pain

I stand alone on the broken bridge

Where everything beyond was once within reach

The wind has stolen the past away

But in my heart the songs still play

The bridge may be gone but the memories remain

The river flows on its currents unchanged

The stones endure though rearranged

Trees grow tall birds fly free

But no one rebuilds this bridge but me

I close my eyes and dare to dream

Of a bridge restored across the stream

The quiet waves seem to softly say

"Everything lost will find its way"

I chose to believe and wait right here

For the day this bridge reappears

I stand alone on the broken bridge

Where everything beyond was once within reach

The wind has stolen the past away

But in my heart the songs still play

The bridge may be gone but the memories remain
