lyrics

There's a bridge down by the water where we used to go,
I would hold you so close where the tall grass did grow,
And you said that if I were ever to see you again,
It would be there by the water where I used to be yours

I don't see you in my window like I did when we were young,
Tell me where you haven't been and that is surely where I went,
Now returned I have learned that you have gone,
Now returned I have learned that you have gone

Thoughts of you are always welcome but it seems they're all I have,
Pain will not keep me from me for what I say is what I do,
Come to me you will see that I have changed,
Come to me you will see that I have changed

Somedays, I make my way,
To the bridge down by the water,
Where I left you in shame
You would say come back someday I'll still be yours,
So here I stand reaching for your hand,
But you're mine no more

There's a bridge down by the water where we used to go,
I would hold you so close where the tall grass did grow,
And you said that if I were ever to see you again,
It would be there by the water where I used to be yours
