Don't Burn the Bridge

I am a man who travelled everywhere

Holding mirages made of hair

Mansions of silver, women of gold

Well, all I had was the tale I told

I've been a wanderer, I can let go

But you would do better to stay

Don't burn the bridge

That brought you over

Or you'll be travelling all your days

I had no family, I had no real friends

I had a lover who more then just pretends

She played a mind game

I played it too

When you're in love, those're the things you do

I've been a loser, I've won the game

I've had power, fortune, and fame

Don't burn the bridge that brought you over

For you're a poor man just the same

Poor man

Poor man

Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all

That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall

And then you came and built a bridge where once there was a wall in my life

I can cross over, live on the other side

I was a rover, until I met my bride

She has the magic, I have the dreams

With her, my life is really all it seems

There's no illusion, this is for real

And I'm so satisfied, deep within

You are the bridge that brought me over

And you are everywhere I've ever been

Your man

I'm your man

Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all

That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall

And then you came to build a bridge where once there was a wall

Came and built a bridge where there was a wall

Came and built a bridge where there was a wall

In my life

In my life
