One Bridge I Didn't Burn

(Steve Dean/Jim McBride)



I know how long it's been

So, if I can't come in

Then let me just talk to you through the door

I'm a man without a place

Lost, and lookin' for a trace

Of the warm and tender love we had before.



I closed every door behind me, shook my shoes and walked away

Turned my back on you, and everything I had yesterday

It's a long, hard road that leads back from the point of no return

And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn.



This river looks so wide

Standing on the lonely side

And, wishing I could be back home again

I'd do anything at all

Just to find a way across

And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been.



I closed every door behind me, shook my shoes and walked away

Turned my back on you, and everything I had yesterday

It's a long, hard road that leads back from the point of no return

And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn...
