Oh my darling son 
what have you done 
You traded your possesions 
for a foreign distant son 
And the love you left behind you 
on the field’s where you once grew 
Beat’s the heart that will always bind you 
to the one that was allways true 

The bridges that your building 
will I never understand 
The bridges that must take you 
to your mansions made of sand 
And the ocean’s now between us 
hold the two of us apart 
And the dreams that you followed 
across the bridges of my heart: 

Oh my darling son 
where have you gone 
You promised your tomorrow’s 
to where they don’t belong 
And the dreams that were forever 
are now the dreams you left behind 
in the heart’s of all who love you 
in another place and time 

The bridges that your building 
will I never understand 
The bridges that must take you 
to your mansions made of sand 
And the ocean’s now between us 
hold the two of us apart 
And the dreams that you followed 
across the bridges of my heart: 

The bridges that your building 
will I never understand 
The bridges that must take you 
to your mansions made of sand 
And the ocean’s now between us 
hold the two of us apart 
And the dreams that you followed 
across the bridges of my heart 

Across the bridges of my heart
