Peter Elkas - Cinder Bridge Lyrics

It's holding, but just wait
The whole thing will disintegrate
It looks sturdy, but it's hollow
It might as well be just a shadow

When we built it
It was majestic
There was nobody who could best it
Now it's ashen, don't you do it
You'll go crashing through it

Let's fall into the valley
We will both survive
There's gotta be a way up to the ridge
I can't stand around and tally up the little fires
That left us standing on
A cinder bridge
It's nothing but a cinder bridge

I admit it, I was flicking matches
On the car ride down to Natchez
I never thought that it would faze me
But riding shotgun drove me crazy

Let's fall into the valley
We will both survive
There's gotta be a way up to the ridge
I can't stand around and tally up the little fires
That left us standing on
That left us standing on

A cinder bridge
A cinder bridge
A cinder bridge
A cinder bridge

Let's fall into the valley
We will both survive
There's gotta be a way up to the ridge
I can't stand around and tally up the little fires
That left us standing on
That left us standing on
That left us standing on

A cinder bridge
A cinder bridge
A cinder bridge
A cinder bridge

We burned it up
With little fires
It's standing tall
But it will fall
A cinder bridge
