Under the Bridge

"Under the Bridge"

The picture I took has redeye
Somehow they always do
It seems I spent a lifetime
Chasing the dream of you

I spent so many months searching
And more I spent obsessed
But talking to you now I know
I have nothing left to confess

You never were what I made you to be
As only a fool who's a fool can see
A midnight wind in the cypress tree
What I wrote about you was all about me

Time it flows and time it ebbs
And in time it dulls the pain
It's all water under the bridge
Vanished into the rain
Time it flows and time it ebbs
But this time I'll refuse
You'll never be my lover
But you'll always be my muse

I used to think of you often
But there's only time to blame
I'm seeing you for the last time again
Always new and always the same

This picture I took has redeye
The flaws at least are true
I can say goodbye now with a smile
And time will see my through

You never were what I made you to be
As only a fool who's a fool can see
A midnight wind in the cypress tree
What I wrote about you was all about me

Time it flows and time it ebbs
And in time it dulls the pain
It's all water under the bridge
Vanished into the rain
Time it flows and time it ebbs
But this time I'll refuse
You'll never be my lover
But you'll always be my muse

Time it flows and time it ebbs
And in time it dulls the pain
It's all water under the bridge
Vanished January rain
Time it flows and time it ebbs
But this time I'll refuse
You'll never be my lover
But you'll always be my muse
