His family called it ritual
When dinner time was done
He would row their old boat
Up-river towards the sun
They never questioned him
As they prepared for bed
He needed the freedom
They believed every word he said
~~~*Music*~~~
As the sun was going down
She kissed her Ma and Pa
Took her shawl, from the hook
And began her nightly walk
Wandered to the bridge of stone
In the silence, closed her eyes
Waiting for his presence to
Invade the peace of night
~~~*Chorus*~~~
And he always came...
Her heart would overflow
When shadows turned...
Into her lover's form
Oh...oh...oh...
On the bridge of stone
His smile chased away the evening's gloom...
And her laughter lit the moon
Oh...oh...oh...
On the bridge of stone
Two separate hearts
Became one
On the bridge
On the bridge of stone
~~*~~
They both needed each other
Like you must breathe to live
And they went undiscovered
The young lovers on the bridge
~~~*Music*~~
Her Pa said the mine was closed
That there was nothing left
They were leaving at first light
Joining wagons headed West
She stumbled from the cabin
Tears rendering her blind
Sorrow posed a question
Could she leave her heart behind
~~~*Chorus*~~~
They both needed each other

And they went undiscovered
The young lovers on the bridge

His smile chased away the evening's gloom
And her laughter lit the moon
Oh...oh...oh...
On the bridge of stone
Two separate hearts
Became one
On the bridge
On the bridge of stone
~~*~~
There weren't any options
For them to grab and hold
They made love for the last time
On the bridge of stone
~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
He said God will understand...
He'll forgive us for our sins
Looked into her eyes so blue
Cursed the color of his skin
He held his only treasure
And whispered let's go home
They left this world together
Falling from the bridge of stone..

On the bridge of stone

On the bridge of stone
