I am a man who travelled everywhere   Holding mirages made of hair   Mansions of silver, women of gold   Well, all I had was the tale I told      I've been a wanderer, I can let go   But you would do better to stay   Don't burn the bridge   That brought you over   Or you'll be travelling all your days      I had no family, I had no real friends   I had a lover who more then just pretends   She played a mind game    I played it too   When you're in love, those're the things you do      I've been a loser, I've won the game   I've had power, fortune, and fame   Don't burn the bridge that brought you over   For you're a poor man just the same      Poor man    Poor man   Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all   That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall   And then you came and built a bridge where once there was a wall in my life      I can cross over, live on the other side   I was a rover, until I met my bride   She has the magic, I have the dreams   With her, my life is really all it seems      There's no illusion, this is for real   And I'm so satisfied, deep within   You are the bridge that brought me over   And you are everywhere I've ever been      Your man   I'm your man   Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all   That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall   And then you came to build a bridge where once there was a wall   Came and built a bridge where there was a wall   Came and built a bridge where there was a wall   In my life   In my life
