Lyrics

[00:18.78] I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long
[00:22.41]
[00:23.46] And they built it high and they built it strong
[00:26.70]
[00:27.83] Strong enough to hold the weight of time
[00:31.45]
[00:32.57] Long enough to leave some of us behind
[00:35.90]
[00:36.78] And every one of us has to face that day
[00:40.28]
[00:41.10] Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
[00:45.18] And every one of us that ever came to play
[00:49.35]
[00:50.04] Has to cross the bridge or fade away
[00:55.10]
[00:59.10] Standing on the bridge looking at the waves
[01:02.83]
[01:03.52] Seen so many jump, never seen one saved
[01:07.02]
[01:08.02] On a distant beach your song can die
[01:11.63]
[01:12.52] On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide
[01:16.34]
[01:17.10] And every one of us has to face that day
[01:20.81]
[01:21.55] Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
[01:25.92] And every one of us that ever came to play
[01:29.79]
[01:30.66] Has to cross the bridge or fade away
[01:36.05]
[01:39.86] And the bridge it shines
[01:42.35]
[01:44.10] Oh cold hard iron
[01:46.72]
[01:48.40] Saying come and risk it all
[01:50.71]
[01:51.98] Or die trying
[01:54.74]
[02:35.76] And every one of us has to face that day
[02:39.38]
[02:40.08] Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
[02:43.64]
[02:44.19] And every one of us that ever came to play
[02:47.93]
[02:48.81] Has to cross the bridge or fade away
[02:53.99]
[02:57.67] Has to cross the bridge or fade away
