| 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 |
