We were going nowhere fast
We were lost in our detail
We watched the water go past
I picked the dirt from my fingernails
Then you started to cry
We were closing on half-crossed
You looked me straight in the eye
And stole a line from Love's Labours Lost
That is how you left me
When you left me on The Bridge
That is what you told me:
You go that way I go this
We were going nowhere fast
And though I wanted to turn away
The moment already passed
There was nothing that I could say
That is how you left me
When you left me on The Bridge
That is what you told me:
You go that way I go this
And as you began to walk away
I thought that you might run around
I watched your pretty head until
I lost you in the evening crowd
Remembered how you asked me
To watch you as you fell asleep
So I could pull you out again
If dreaming ever got too deep
I felt you like a missing limb
Your naked cheek against my chest
I held you in your winter coat
I kissed you in your summer dress
And all of this came flooding back
Like dirty water from the Thames
I knew that I would never cross the Albert Bridge with you again
That is how you left me
When you left me on The Bridge
That is what you told me:
You go that way I go this
That is how you left me
When you left me on The Bridge
That is what you told me:
You go that way I go this...
