Bridge

A hot night in July
full moon bright
lighting our way
down the path

My hand in his
a perfect stranger
strong new hand
pulling me urgently

Beautiful spot in the woods
the waterfall
the rocks
naked on the bridge

Back to the bar
never see him again
forget our music
I'm too jaded

Did he say "God"?
hunger in his face
I know that hunger
it's mine

"Listen to my song"
tears sting
it's been a lifetime
he made me cry?

My soul stirs with his
I'm afraid to feel again
it's beyond me
can't make it stop
