Song DescriptionIf you're sitting under a bridge it could be for the shelter, but it's mostly because you like it! I did - and still do, but now I'm more often the man in the boat. I spent years as a young man fishing under bridges and you do relate to flotsam drifting
Story Behind the SongMy own memories of fishing under a bridge as a young man. When Jane Laws heard it, she said, Sonny, I must sing that song! . . And here it is.
Lyrics
BRIDGES
** If you've ever lived, it's certain you will die
If you're growing feathers perhaps you can fly - and I love sitting under bridges
See a toffee paper on the water float
Dropped by someone's child on a passing boat
Relating for a moment with flotsam drifting by - and I love sitting under bridges
Hear a metal monster thunder overhead
Wonder what the people in first class said
I can find a dry place for a happy head - just love sitting under bridges
** If you've ever lived, it's certain you will die
If you're growing feathers perhaps you can fly - and I love sitting under bridges
Swallows in my front room, fox - a rabbit, too
Got so much to look at - nothing else to do
If you have a bridge to live in the whole world passes through And I love sitting under
bridges
People pass in luxury, boating holiday
Just a few wave a hand, others look away
I find that a pity - I've got so much to say - and I love sitting under bridges
**If you've ever lived, it's certain you will die
If you're growing feathers perhaps you can fly - and I love sitting under bridges
And I love sitting under bridges . . .
