A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. Designs of bridges vary depending on the function of the bridge, the nature of the terrain where the bridge is constructed, the material used to make it and the funds available to build it.
The Oxford English Dictionary traces the origin of the word bridge to an Old English word brycg, of the same meaning, derived from the hypothetical Proto-Germanic root brugjō. There are cognates in other Germanic languages.
The first bridges were made by nature itself — as simple as a log fallen across a stream or stones in the river. The first bridges made by humans were probably spans of cut wooden logs or planks and eventually stones, using a simple support and crossbeam arrangement. Some early Americans used trees or bamboo poles to cross small caverns or wells to get from one place to another. A common form of lashing sticks, logs, and deciduous branches together involved the use of long reeds or other harvested fibers woven together to form a connective rope capable of binding and holding together the materials used in early bridges.

She shouldn't be left alone

The bridge, we'll build it now
It may take a lot of time
And it maybe lonely but
Ooh baby, ooh baby.
The bridge was falling down
And that took a lot of lies
And it made me lonely
Ooh baby, ooh baby.
The bridge was falling.
The bridge was falling.
The bridge was falling.
One day, when you talked to me
I saw myself again
And it made me love you.
Ooh baby, ooh baby.
And love came running down
Like a river on your skin
And you let me in.
Ooh babe, ooh babe.
You let me in
You let me in
You let me in
The bridge, we'll build it now
Staring out over the bridge
A million photo flashes from the water down below
Dawn light bouncing through the mist
Roar of traffic and the crack of police radios
When they ask her name
Would she please explain
Kate, we're stuck here for awhile.The only service
station closed tonight at five.
The transmission has conspired against our silence;
and it relieved us of the goal that we have tried to hide
behind.
Kate, the pamphlets can all wait.
We'll send them in the morning.
They'll just be a little late.
You've got a banner wrapped around you like a blanket
and a cell phone that we swore a blood oath we would
never buy.
Have you got this terrifying notion
that this is not a shared experience?
Just synchronized, solitary moments
bound by belief in this alone?
Kate... is there anything left to smoke?
I feel like I'm drowning...
you talk to me in code.
Staring at a wooden footbridge, you say,
'It's a marvel of construction.
Two weaknesses combine to become a strength.'
And have you got this terrifying notion
that this is not a shared experience?
Just synchronized, solitary moments
There's this bridge I've got to cross I feel alone
A child down to each side and I can't carry both
The bridge is long we could fall down through holes
Water all around, wind, wet and cold
One child insecure displays the confidence he doesn't own
Another child, uncertain, looks around and cries for home
My bridge is too unstable and the insecurity is letting go
There's no holding to a crumbling bridge
When all the time is gone in between it tumbles
Time to move along
I toss and turn over and over
Trying to dream out anxiety
Easy answers to my problems
Keeping a grip on sanity
Until the sun comes up
there's a narrow bridge that leads me to your door
between the apple trees and poison leaves that form
around my shoulders as they toss me back and forth
they bring me pleasure and they always keep me
warm
warm
there's a cashman
there are quick cures
there are taste tests
there are trashwhores
there is numbness
there is feeling
there is sickness
there is healing
and i'm halfway to you
but i'm takin' a break
where i walk with a limp
and i sleep with the stakes
and i blow up my lungs
with the air that i need
and my dreams i'm on knees
and i'm washing your feet
with my hair
and i'm not pleased with all of my addictions
all of my addictions
all of my addictions
and i'm not pleased with all of my addictions
all of my addictions
all of my addictions
there are sunbeams
there are dark clouds
there are voices
there are no sounds
and i'm stable
so you want me
yes i'm stable
while you want me
and i'm upright
while you're downsized
while you're downsized
i am upright
i'm the cashman
you're quick cure
you're taste test
and i'm the trashwhore
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
and i don't feel a thing
but i want to be real
as you are
There's no released lyrics anywhere so I thought I'd figure it out for myself
Went unto this country
With a waking eye
Oh the spark was on my neck
Was in my eye, eye
Went unto this substance
At the river end
Oh the bridge was pulled back up
Into the sky
How time did fly for you
Oh...
Once I lost my brother
In the blink of an eye
Oh the wind was spawning
Held me up the while
Want to kiss and steal
Want to drink and bend
Oh pull me up beyond the river edge
How did fly for you
Na cele hradni posadky
Jel Gero vybrat desatky
By oslaviti mohl statni svatek
Lec prazdne mesto ves i bor
Neb Sasik Prajs i Branibor
Uz davno prestal stradat do prasatek
Uz nechce platit hradu hry
Pres Cechy vytah na Uhry
Tam na Dunaji nalodil se na vor
A proti proudu padluje
A vesele si jodluje
Jak Stajerak jak Tyrolak ci Bavor
Vzal Gero jako urazku
Ze nikdo nechtel bumazku
A povoleni k vystaveni pasu
A ze dokonce farnosti
Uz delaji mu schvalnosti
A nechteji mu plnit statni kasu
Je divu ze je nastvany
Kdyz utece mu poddany
Jenz vystaven byl leta jeho peci
A ze se citi urazen
Kdyz fura muzu fura zen
Se z jeho pece u sousedu leci?
Zri Gero ohen na strese
A alarmuje Mikese
By polapil tu nevolnickou chatru
A Mikes v roli spojence
Jde chytat Nemce pro Nemce
Neb prospiva to ledvine a jatru
A Pepa - rucky od prace se plizi podel palace
Co ukryva se v malostranskych strechach
A s vasni lovce mamuta
Jde vykradati auta
Jez zanechali Branibori v Cechach
Proc by si jeden nepokrad?
Jo - v tom je Pepa demokrat
Vzdyt sikulovi ma byt dana sance
My prezili jsme Habsburka
A dneska mame wartburka
A tuzexovy konto v Zivnobance
Pak odstartuje po lupu
Na vikendovou chalupu
Tam s kamarady svihne pivni kuru
A na pomery skuhraje
Vi ze to zas nak uhraje
(Chris DeGarmo)
You called me up on the phone today
struggling with the right words to say.
Time can change a thing or two.
Time has changed the lives of me and you,
but you know... it could have been different dad.
The word brings back a sweet memory.
I¹m sitting on a bluff on a broken tree,
by my side a distinguished man giving me
encouragement, telling me I can, and you know ...
you¹re not there.
You say, ³Son, let¹s forget the past,
I want another chance, gonna make it last.²
You¹re begging me for a brand new start, trying
to mend a bridge that¹s been blown apart, but you know...
you never built it dad.
So I sit here through the night, and I
write myself to sleep, and time keeps ticking...
Time has made you finally realize your
loneliness and your guilt inside.
You¹re reaching for something you never had,
turning around now you¹re loocking back, and you know...
I¹m no there.
You say, ³son, let¹s forget the past.
I want another chance, gonna make it last.²
You¹re begging me for a brand new start, trying
to mend a bridge that¹s been blown apart, but you know ...
I know that you are worth waiting for
But I don't have the time
I've been waiting for years already
But that didn't make you mine
My clock is ticking faster
Than I ever thought it would
So I can't wait for your love
God knows I wish I could
Right there in the mist before me
I see its ghostly scheme
Stretching cast-iron fingers
Upon a blood-red stream
This bridge has been the hope of many
For just as many it has been the end
Now I'm the next in line to lay my life
Faithfully into this hand
I know that you are worth waiting for
But I don't have the time
I've been waiting for years already
But that didn't make you mine
My clock is ticking faster
Than I ever thought it would
So I can't wait for your love
God knows I wish I could
There's a bridge ahead that spans a river wide
If you don't dare the walk, you won't reach my side
If you walk that bridge, the bridge may break
But that's a risk that you will have to take
If it breaks, the river takes you in
And a whole new journey will begin
There's a secret down in that river deep
I don't like watching train wrecks, entranced by falling stars
They are only needed when they fall apart
Our life without scandal, nearly all routine
The one thing I can count on is waiting at home for me
And I can see we are not young
But I like who we've become
I don't like feeling frail when I first wake up
I don't like feeling aches and pain whenever I'm not drunk
I guess I'll never really quit smoking cigarettes
I guess I rarely sleep enough or exercise to stay fit
And I don't know how long we'll live
But I'll enjoy every minute with you
Cause I just like who you've become
Everyone finds someone
Maybe I found you
Everyone finds someone
Baby I found two
I don't like it when it's overcast
I don't like it rains
I don't like it when I miss you like the light on gloomy days
I don't like to get angry and drive old friends away
I wish she could forgive me for saying what I said
At least I know we still share a bed
and I know where I'll rest my head tonight
It's just a fight and then it's done
I still love who we've become
pain and agony
What can and cannot be
Torment and suffering
Please don't induce death?
Just get it over with?
prolonged by questioning
Pain inflict the conscience
on those to make the decision
This is the choice of life or death
peace or pain to be given
depending on your line of thought
will determine on what side
the argument of wrong or right
the choice we must decide
CHORUS
I had a dream about a bridge
It was tall, dark, mysterious
It made the waves below seem inviting
Not to jump in but to look at
And admire as I cross that bridge
There's so much history between
The country and the city
So much past before today
Thoughts march like soldiers
Across the surface
Scattered, losing focus
I tried My Best to make you mine
But I Don't Know How to connect This Line
And Maybe this is not the time
Cause I know we're not on the same rhyme
I hope You're always there
Listening when I share
But how can I touch Your hair
If you don't even care
I can't get you out of my mind
While my heart beats fast on the same time
You see, I"m so sincere to you
But I don't know how can't I get trough
You make me feel high
When I'm going to sigh
You're always make me laugh
With my teary eye
Please hold me so tight
When I start to fly
Don't ever Let me go cause I'll take you
To The Sky
And even though you always make me cry
Now you broke up my heart
And It's gonna die
I will do my best to make it up to you
So that I can get trough
I'm standing here in front of your door
Thinking of you more and more
I'm wondering what you're doing now
And what is all about
You make me feel high
When I'm going to sigh
You're always make me laugh
With my teary eye
Please hold me so tight
When I start to fly
Don't ever Let me go cause I'll take you
To The Sky
And even though you always make me cry
Now you broke up my heart
And It's gonna die
I will give my all to let you know
That I LOVE YOU SO!
The bridge so high the bridge so tall here is where it's
started on bridge
The moon is big and yellow and the stars're all aglow
From the bridge I see reflection in the waters far below
You kissed me for the first time here held me awfully
tight
And the bridge became our favorite place we came here
often in the night
One night while standing on the bridge desire swept
through a spoke
Passion took us by the hand and showed us where to go
From the bridge we saw a meadow so we ran together there
Where we found love together hurry motions filled the air
The bridge so wide the bridge so long
Where once we stood together tonight I stand alone
Tonight while standing on the bridge my heart is beating
wild
To think that you could leave me here with our unborn
child
My feet are moving slowly closer to the edge
[Hook:]
See I can be the bridge that takes you home
Or I can be he wind that makes you moan
Depending how you treat me baby
See I can be the beacon, brings you light
Or I can be blacker, colder than midnight
So how you gonna see me baby
Now either you can go on and choose me
Or baby you're gon' go on and lose me
Cause I can be, I can be, I can be, I can be, I can be, I can be,
I can be, I can be
[Verse 1:]
If I could be blatant with, well, what I gotta say about you and I is,
What I gotta do to not see it Kevin Smith way,
You know,
View Askew, babe
Give it to me straighter than a hetero, I'll pay for petrol,
We can go riding through the metro (polis)
Put it together because separate causes, misunderstanding, watch Metropolis
That's like us, see together we marvelous
Hard as the city of the concrete gardens
Split it up, inserts the margins, you get confusion, the words lose purpose
The mark and the target, the arc and the aim like a dart just miss position
If I can explain the way we need to go and where we gonna go, I can do it just like this
Listen
I guess this is the infamous, "What is this really? " conversation
Man I hate as a miss is this it's me bringing it up
Predictable dating
But you won't, I've been waiting,
I wouldn't bother, wouldn't have the patience
It would be the aphid in the room, wasted breath, but I think you're amazing.
That being said (dot, dot, dot)
Love the way the bed rock non-stop
Love the time we spend, chill, eat, shop
Even iller the days we pretend we wanna be at our own spots
But then you knock, knock, knock
But yet still not confirming lock,
I need to know or else just get dropped,
Get canned, get blocked,
Got plans, or not?
[Hook]
[Verse 2:]
The way you think is appealing I,
Like the feeling of thinking of you
Like to know that you're thinking of me
Like the feeling of being us, two
Might reveal how I'm feeling too much
Might be feeling the fear, we do rush
Fight the feeling to flee, to lose us
Type to reel in the scenes and lose trust
Slice the dealings and leave, abuse lust
Cuts and bruises, I see you lose love
But you chose to redeem it, who does?
Fuck the blues and the demons, choose one
Human to humor cupid with some "cue in the music cupid shit"
Come
Lose the race in the shoes that you run
Fuse the pace of the two into one
