Lyrics Billy Joe Royal

Billy Joe Royal

Old Bridges Burn Slow

Here we go 'round again

Masqueradin' as long lost friends

'Cause a memory never dies

It kinda fades into a lie

And what da ya know

Still waters run deep

Old bridges burn slow

Still waters run deep, now baby

Old bridges burn slow

Let's chalk it all up to our youth

That's one way to hide from the truth

I never asks you for a thing and if I had

You would have told me no

Still waters run deep

Old bridges burn slow

Still waters run deep, now baby

Old bridges burn slow

But how many years did I chase after you

All my mind would allow

But now I can't break off the past

And even if I knew how

Ah, I wouldn't tell it to you, baby

So why don't we call it a day

I got nothin' else left to say

'Cause a dream we both dreamt was

Just a last ditch attempt to stop the flow

Still waters run deep

Old bridges burn slow

Still waters run deep, now baby

Old bridges burn slow, mm

Don't ya know they burn slow

In a way I know and I know

Don't ya know they burn slow

Still waters run deep

Old bridges burn slow

Ah, how they burn

Don't ya know they burn slow

Still waters run deep

Old bridges burn slow
