You say, too much water    Has gone under the bridge by now.   I say that bridges    Are all that's left for us now.   Each side of the river, the city is burning   There is no turning back.   Oh, what else can I say? There's no loss of face   And nothing's betrayed, there's no disgrace   In meeting on the bridge.      You'll have to trust me, don't bring any,    Any of them so-called friends   And everyone's talking, they soon start shouting   And we all know how that one ends.   You say the daylight, I say the night-time   Let's meet in the twilight zone.   Don't be afraid you'll come to no harm   Nothing's betrayed, we'll both be unarmed   And both of us must come alone.      A Bridge of sighs for the compromise   Does anyone get what they really wish?   A handshake, a heartbreak, maybe a parting with a kiss.   Ah, don't be afraid, there is no disgrace   No one's betrayed, there's no loss of face   In meeting on the bridge.      Repeat chorus      The river runs red, the air is smoking    And the flames burn higher and higher.   The numbers of dead are like beads of sweat   And they can never put out this fire.   The ones who are left must not be swept away   On this river of death, so I'll meet you halfway   There is no disgrace, what more can I say?   There's no loss of face   We must meet on the bridge.
