lyrics

I stood under the bridge
On the eve of his birthday
And I watch the snow drift
Past these houses and walkways
How I watch the snow drift
Past these hundreds of ghost days
Night unclenches a fist
Night breaks bread as this town sways

I stood under the bridge
On the eve of his birthday
And I watch the snow drift
From these clouds on their bright parade
Day burns down to a wisp
Cinders white as his bones are laid

And tears of oak
Fist of willow
Won’t bring him back
Won’t bring him back
If I grow rich
Or fade tomorrow
It won’t him back
Won’t bring him back

I stood under the bridge
As I sang out this sorrow
And the city sang with
Beating time that was borrowed
And this sky turned to bliss
And his hands turned to swallows
