The Bridge (feat. vocal: Jane Siberry & congos and bongos: Sue Hadjopoulos) - Joe Jackson

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

You wither my trouble 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

And where am I as I swallow your tears

And the prince with the slipper appears

Do you back at your heel, do I try not to feel

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
