The Bridge

Written by Antje Duvekot and Séamus Egan

As recorded by Antje Duvekot on The Near Demise of the High Wire Dancer

So you've come to this bridge
Into an unfamiliar land
And you know it's a bridge you are going to walk on
And the only thing you know is
That everything you know
Will do you no good from here on
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you out there
So you pick up your bags
Look around at your friends
And you know none of them
Would ever have enough strength
To cross the bridge and lose control
You never felt this bold
Never felt this good
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you
Stay true to your nomad skies
Keep your eyes out for coyote
A thousand secrets are lost
In the archival dust
So lay your ears upon the tracks
One day you will come back
With wrinkled hands and grey hair
And there you will stand on the spot
And you'll marvel how the place is still the same
But you are somebody else now
Fly on butterfly
And the day that you spin
From your little cocoon
Well, you can't be prepared
For the beauty you'll find there
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you
And you will find beauty
In the toughest of places
And I will be thinking of you out there
