the bridge_02The Bridge
Come to me and be my shining light
in the stormy darkness of my night
carry me safe to the other side
across the river and the riptide
come my lady to my side
come and let your love transform my sight
guide me beyond the infinite night
where love rages like an ocean's tide
show me the mysteries that you hold
while I struggle with the deadly cold
carry me safe to the other shore
where we will be lovers forevermore
fly with me up in the crystal sky
with our lifes' fire to guide us by
join me in phoenix's blazing light
fly forever on the wings of love
where two hearts intertwine with two souls
where two bodies shall unite as one
I'll wait for you and at last the breach
between us shall be remedied
when shall we meet each other again
and where will our roads together lead
it doesn't matter at all to me
as long as we travel together
