The Bridge Lyrics

Kathy Mattea The Bridge

(Tom Kimmel/Jim Pittman)
Sometimes I wonder what's the right thing
Maybe you could let me know
We were struck by lightning
A long time ago
No one else's vision
Ever let me see
How your good intentions
Cast their spell on me
Now there's a bridge I can't get over
There's a weight I can't get under
It's a dream I still remember
But it won't come true
If there's a lesson I would learn it
I would cross it now or burn it
But there's a bridge I can't get over between me and you
Love can take some crazy side streets
It can twist and turn you around
Looking for the straight and narrow
Doubt it can be found
When life's hesitation sets somebody free
Baby in your wisdom, shine your grace on me
Now there's a bridge I can't get over
There's a weight I can't get under
It's a dream I still remember
But it won't come true
If there's a lesson I would learn it
I would cross it now or burn it
But there's a bridge I can't get over between me and you
And I have lived with indecision
And hoped without a reason
Now I'm tired of all this self-pity, baby
Give me the room to leave
If there's a lesson I would learn it
I would cross it now or burn it
But there's a bridge I can't get over
Between me and you
Oh, between me and you
