Lyrics The Bridge & Down - The Lilac Time

The Bridge & Down

The ribbon’s on my tail
There’s nothing in the mail
Everything’s for show
And no one lets you know what they’re on
Till it’s gone
How you gonna live
Without a song in your heart
I’ve got to let you know
For that’s how you will grow
I’ve got to let you know
Look over the bridge and down
Is there a soul around
Now you either swim or drown
The sheriff’s on my trail
My poetry got stale
And then my paint dried up
There’s no coins in my cup
But nothing is enough in this world
Everything’s too much in this world
With nothing but a song in your heart
You can make a start to change your world
You’ve got to let them know
If you want them to go
You’ve got to let them know
Look over the bridge and down
Is there a soul around
Now you either swim or drown
They want everyone to be straight
They’re so twisted out of shape
All they need is hate
And the world they want to reinstate
Two hundred years out of date
You’ve got to let me know
Cause that’s how I will grow
You’ve got to let me know
Look over the bridge and down
Is there a soul around
Now you either swim or drown
