There Was A Bridge Lyrics by David Wax Museum

I Turned Off Thinking About

2008

[Verse 1]
Well there was a bridge, an old railroad bridge
There was a bridge, an old railroad bridge
Its cables like the wrists of a sprawling dead bear
I said so, she didn't care
There wasn't anything she couldn't unhinge
[Verse 2]
There was a moon, that was more like the ghost of a moon
There was a moon, that was more like the ghost of a moon
Bone white for all its bloody [?]
She'd been dancing all night on an ankle twice sprained
I tried to keep up with her but I was doomed
[Verse 3]
There was murmur, a hushed murmur
Thеre was murmur, a hushed murmur
Of water tumbling ovеr stone
The sound of creek banks when it moans
We walked through, convicted, and we're covered in burns
[Chorus]
She said yes, but she didn't say when
Her love for me had come to an end
She said no, it can't be made right
Even if we could go back to that night
[Verse 4]
There was a soft, soft window of skin hurts both back
A soft window of skin hurts both back
They'll face this harvest [?]
In the heart flood of a sickly moth
As she went to pick up something on the railroad track
[Verse 5]
There was a smell, like the smell of devil's cloth
There was a smell, like the smell of devil's cloth
Bodies split open as if unstitched
[?] claws start to twitch
Dangling seeds, shivering grass, and a crow's call
[Verse 6]
There was a dress, like [?] sticked in grass
There was a dress, like [?] sticked in grass
Here she curve dark winding roads
The difference between you and me, so you know
Dawned on me, I hold on to much less
[Pre-Chorus]
She said 'I guess'
[Chorus]
But she didn't say when
Her love for me had come to an end
She said no, it can't be made right
Even if we could go back to that night
[Outro]
There was a bridge
There was a bridge
There was a bridge
