The Bridge - Janis Ian

The Bridge

Janis Ian

The bridge that spans the gap between our souls

continues through the night from pole to pole

and hope is like a light

that shines in endless flight

spilling over into darkness, and making is wholly

free to span the oceans of our lives

Feeling only love's emotion, suspended throug the skies

and when we meet again,

remember me from when

I was crawling in the darkness

You were holding to the sky

I want to get back to the city

where the neon lights shine pretty

all day long

I'm giving my heart to the rock & roll

of the city gonna save my soul

You are the captain, and the master of my soul

Long ago the loneliness of time,

spinning onward into emptiness,

With no reason and no rhyme, said

When two lovers meet,

the heart begins to beat

just like the rhythm of the street

Sad serenaders keep the time

Midnight party makers move in line

but when we meet again,

remember me from when

I was falling into darkness,

and you owned the sky

I want to get back to the city

where the neon lights shine pretty

all day long

I'm giving my heart to the rock & roll

of the city gonna save my soul

You are the captain, and the master of my soul
