Bridge, A

by: Clannad

Time came around and I was in need
You came by my side, all my troubles to ease
You collected my heart, healing the past
You'll never lay down [unverified] and I can count on you
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
Our greatest strength
When someone pretends to circle your friend
And finds, he's [unverified] betraying you 'fore it all ends
A bittersweet chain, that'll always remain
So don't let illusions get the better of you
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
Our greatest strength
Love is to share where words can't compare
Love is desire, so full of fire
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
Our greatest strength
We all speak well of a bridge that carries us over
Over safe
The art of compromise has surely been our greatest strength
