The Bridge of John Lyrics

Finally reached the riverbank


Been walking all night long.


But this ain't the place for getting tired,

I'm gonna walk some further on

The river here is dark and wide


But I'm gonna make the other side


I'll tell the world until my voice is gone,

No, I ain't stopping, I'm walking on.

The man in blue said stop right there

This bridge won't take you anywhere

But laid out flat beneath the lawn.


But I ain't stopping baby, I'm walking on.

Cause Baby, I'm still walking

Across the river to something true,

And maybe, oh just maybe,


You could be walking too.

These drops upon the pavement here

Are still my gift to you


If you look real close, look in my eyes

You'll see you're bleeding too.

And those drops they make a question mark.

About all that's light and all that's dark


Now what hell are you gonna do?


But, I'm just walkin', will you be walkin' too?

Cause Baby, I'm still walking

Through the night, into the dawn,

And baby, I ain't stopping


I'm walking on.

So, let the rich man to turn his back


The hobos by the railroad track


Still sing a song that's ringing true


What does this blood go and ask of you?

Now this bridge's made of sweat and steel

But the stars still turn on heaven's wheel,

And I'll keep walking, I'll keep walkin' on,

Through the night, into the light of dawn.

Lace up my boots, I'm going across


And do not weep for pain or loss,


Do not weep for nothing that you feel


Rise up and walk, I swear the hurt will heal.

So, don't kneel beside my casket there


That old box ain't going ANYWHERE.


I'm moving through the night into the dawn

I ain't stopping babe, I'm walkin' on.

No, I ain't stopping babe, I'm walking on.
