Chris De Burgh - The Bridge lyrics

They stood on the bridge together And watched the river flow And to pledge themselves forever A place where lovers go To fix a lock upon the bridge And each would have a key That told of their eternal love The way that it must be And with this key, she said I give My soul, my love, my heart And if the lock should go from here Then I will know that we must part Oh but soon he had to leave her To be a soldier far away And she would go down to the cathedral And every morning pray To light a candle for her love To bring him safely home But on the day the letter came She knew that he was gone With trembling hands, she opened it To read the words which said "It is with deep regret we must Inform you that he's missing, believed dead" She stood on the bridge at midnight And watched the river flow And the lock was in her fingers Into the water she would go But in the distance heard a voice Calling out her name And as he ran to her, she fell In his arms again And with this key I gave, he said My soul, my love, my heart And when I saw the lock was gone I knew that we could never be apart We will never part...
