I am a man who travelled everywhere Holding mirages made of hair Mansions of silver, women of gold Well, all I had was the tale I told I've been a wanderer, I can let go But you would do better to stay Don't burn the bridge That brought you over Or you'll be travelling all your days I had no family, I had no real friends I had a lover who more then just pretends She played a mind game I played it too When you're in love, those're the things you do I've been a loser, I've won the game I've had power, fortune, and fame Don't burn the bridge that brought you over For you're a poor man just the same Poor man Poor man Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall And then you came and built a bridge where once there was a wall in my life I can cross over, live on the other side I was a rover, until I met my bride She has the magic, I have the dreams With her, my life is really all it seems There's no illusion, this is for real And I'm so satisfied, deep within You are the bridge that brought me over And you are everywhere I've ever been Your man I'm your man Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall And then you came to build a bridge where once there was a wall Came and built a bridge where there was a wall Came and built a bridge where there was a wall In my life In my life
