Bridge

You called me up on the phone today
Struggling with the right words to say
Time can change a thing or two
Time has changed the lives of me and you,
But you know it could have been different dad

The word brings back a sweet memory
I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree,
By my side a distinguished man giving me
Encouragement, telling me I can, and you know
You're not there

You say, "Son, let's forget the past,
I want another chance, gonna make it last"
You're begging me for a brand new start, trying
To mend a bridge that's beenblown apart, but you know
You never built it dad

So I sit here through the night, and I
Write myself to sleep, and time keeps ticking

Time has made ypu finnaly realize your
Loneliness and your guilt inside
You're searching for something you never had,
Turning around now you're looking back, and you know
I'm not there

You say, "Son, let's forget the past,
I want another chance, gonna make it last"
You're begging me for a brand new start, trying
To mend a bridge that's beenblown apart, but you know
You never built it dad
