Don McLean - Don't Burn The Bridge Lyrics
I am a man who travelled everywhereHolding mirages made of hairMansions of silver, women of goldWell, all I had was the tale I toldI've been a wanderer, I can let goBut you would do better to stayDon't burn the bridgeThat brought you overOr you'll be travelling all your daysI had no family, I had no real friendsI had a lover who more then just pretendsShe played a mind gameI played it tooWhen you're in love, those're the things you doI've been a loser, I've won the gameI've had power, fortune, and fameDon't burn the bridge that brought you overFor you're a poor man just the samePoor manPoor manYes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and allThat I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fallAnd then you came and built a bridge where once there was a wall in my lifeI can cross over, live on the other sideI was a rover, until I met my brideShe has the magic, I have the dreamsWith her, my life is really all it seemsThere's no illusion, this is for realAnd I'm so satisfied, deep withinYou are the bridge that brought me overAnd you are everywhere I've ever beenYour manI'm your manYes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and allThat I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fallAnd then you came to build a bridge where once there was a wallCame and built a bridge where there was a wallCame and built a bridge where there was a wallIn my lifeIn my life
