Bridge of Sighs Ralph McTell

You say, too much water
Has gone under the bridge by now
I say that bridges
Are all that's left for us now
Each side of the river, the city is burning
There is no turning back
Oh, what else can I say? There's no loss of face
And nothing's betrayed, there's no disgrace
In meeting on the bridge

You'll have to trust me, don't bring any
Any of them so-called friends
And everyone's talking, they soon start shouting
And we all know how that one ends
You say the daylight, I say the night-time
Let's meet in the twilight zone
Don't be afraid you'll come to no harm
Nothing's betrayed, we'll both be unarmed
And both of us must come alone

A Bridge of sighs for the compromise
Does anyone get what they really wish?
A handshake, a heartbreak, maybe a parting with a kiss
Ah, don't be afraid, there is no disgrace
No one's betrayed, there's no loss of face
In meeting on the bridge
