The Bridge Marc Gunn

Was it something I said that made you angry with me
Made you dig a deep river to keep you from me
Oh, the water is rushing, come to sweep me away
'Less I die of sorrow, I will cross it today

I would build me a bridge a hundred meters long
To see the other side of what I did wrong
Well you say you don't hate me, but I guess that I'm scared
That with a river between us, you'll no longer care

I would build a boat, and paddle agaist all sorrow
And if I sail down the river, then I'll be back again tomorrow
I would face cold death, run and leap to your side
And if I fall in the river, I'll be warmed by your sight

I would beg your forgiveness for the pain I've fed
And I'd find the source of the river you've bled
Then I'd close the gates of the dam I built there
And never again will you have anything to fear

Well I never knew that your tears ran so deep
But when I'ved dammed those tears, I will kiss your sweet cheek
I will hold you close 'till your tears finally cease
And I'll sing you a lullaby to bring you peace
