Queensryche - Bridge

Bridge

You called me up on the phone today
struggling with the right words to say.
Time can change a thing or two.
Time has change d the lives of me and you,
but you know... it could have been different dad.
The word brings back a sweet memory.
Imsitting on a bluff on a broken tree,
by my side a distinguished man
giving me encouragement, telling me I can,
and you know... you are not there.
You say, "Son, lets forget the past,
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
you are begging me for a brand new start,
trying to mend a bridge thats been blown apart,
but you know... you never built it dad.
So I sit here through the night,
and I write myself to sleep,
and time keeps ticking...
Time has made you finally realize
your loneliness and your guilt inside.
you are reaching for something you never had,
turning around now you are looking back,
and you know... Imnot there.
You say, "Son, lets forget the past.
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
you are begging me for a brand new start,
trying to mend a bridge thats been blown apart,
but you know... you never built it dad.
