Bridge of God (Live / In Concert, BBC, 28/11/1974)

歌詞

Hide in the shadows, German shepherds are near, Heart double beating in a bright cage of fear, Something he wanted, but the price was too dear, His spirit's starting to float, The Bridge of God is his hope. Choir voices calling as a priest reads the news, Congregation falling, but incredible views, Long ago a mason earnt a new pair of shoes Building his bridge to the sky, Teaching the granite to fly. Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge With chisels of steel, He carved out the wheel To carry you high, With nail through bone, They laid the first stone That crosses the sky. Stooped to the soil, bitter harvest passed by, Dining on hunger, as his crops slowly die, A distant church spire points the way to the sky. His pain is starting to melt, Beneath the bridges he's knelt. Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge, yeah yeah Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge, cross the bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Ave, Ave Maria Ave, Ave Maria Old man is waiting for the end to arrive, Grey Monday morning with the washing line skies, Then without warning he just closes his eyes, He knows he hasn't a care, he knows the bridges are there. Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge All his memories sold, He's releasing his hold To be carried on high. With the juice of the past, And the dust in the hearth It's an easy goodbye. Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge Cross the Bridge of God, cross the Bridge
