Bridge of Sorrow

Cigarette ends on a nightclub floor

All the people you know are going to the door

You danced all night tried again and again

But you could breathe no life into the tired veins

New Year's Eve it's the lowest tide

There's a burning emptiness inside

Out into the night and the winter's air

But you know you can't face another year

Don't go to the bridge of sorrow

Don't go to the bridge of sorrow

You don't belong to a respectable scheme

You don't belong in the mainstream

You don't belong in the material world

You try to talk you were never heard

So you're keeping to yourself

Doing the best you can

It's been this way since time began

Don't go to the bridge of sorrow

Don't go to the bridge of sorrow

Who is to say what is the best to do

When the world is as heavy as it is for you

There is no comfort by the light of the moon

Something is gonna give soon

You've run away from the mother and father

But you can't escape the heart of the matter

'Cause all around you other lives are falling

But voices are heard calling

Don't go to the bridge of sorrow

Don't go to the bridge of sorrow
