The Bridge
Are you still out there?
I'm waiting
Sometimes I think bad thoughts
To make the time go by

Are you sure it was her that was calling?
Are you sure it was her that called
To tell me

That she met someone
With better eyes than me
And that he says the right things
"The things that make me give myself to him more easily"

I had dreams that from Berlin she called me
I had dreams that from a payphone she called
And told me

That I’m not part of
Her life anymore
While I lie in a bathtub
And there falls a hairdryer

Then a picture of my angel falling
From the bridge to where my ashes dissolve
Friends tell me: “Don’t think about her
Won’t you stop thinking about her?
She’s just too far to reach you
And you hardly even knew her anyway”
Oh, oh
But it's the thoughts of
Our lives being torn
And it's the dream of
Not living my life alone

I had dreams that from Berlin she called me
I had dreams that from a payphone she called
Then a picture of my angel falling
From the bridge to where my ashes dissolve

Are you sure it was her that was calling?
Are you sure it was her that called
To tell me
