Angelica Garcia Bridge On Fire
[Verse 1]
Early in the mornin' he looked in the yard
The boy came runnin' 'cause the bridge was on fire
He'd gone to wake her when he finally saw
His baby was on the other side
Baby was on the other side
Baby was on the other side
[Verse 2]
Everything around him glowin' in the light
He called, called
Fetch the water
[Verse 3]
Baby like a moth enamored with the light
Watched it beam by beam ignite
Prayin' with an exhilarating fright
That a gale would double up its size
[Verse 4]
Boy in his pajamas puttin' up a fight
Stumblin' in the soil from his sleepy eyes
Worryin' for his baby but she's alright
Oh why, God, was the bridge on fire?
On fire
[Verse 5]
When the beams caved between the cliffs
Baby realized what she did
The fire that she lit
Meant more to her than any flame with him
[Bridge]
On fire
Bridge is on fire
[Verse 6]
Baby felt her feet start runnin' into night
Watch her go, callin' oh
Bridge on fire
Moonbeams reflectin' in her eyes
The town awoke, up in smoke
Bridge on fire
[Verse 7]
Young blood pumpin', new and alive
Sweepin' her way through the coal black pines
When the mornin' breaks into light
You tell 'em all
That the bridge is on fire
The bridge is on fire
The bridge is on fire
The bridge is on fire
[Verse 8]
Now the boy's all alone in the house made of stone
He asked himself how did he get there
That's what he gets for trickin' the girl
A little bridge could never stop her
