Lyrics
Sweet child with a sweet heart
Who can't see it's all about to fall apart
You're in love again. Are you blind?
That boy is gonna shatter your heart this time.
Cold and alone you waited for his train.
Until you realized he'd forgotten the date
No, you could never be mad.
Like a fool you understand.
Sweet child. It's time that you learned.
People they change and bridges they get burned
Sweet child. Let's burn us a bridge tonight.
I'll put the torch in your hand.
Let's burn us a bridge tonight.
So you hop on the last express.
You feel an emptiness but you don't know why.
Then there's anger. It turns into pain.
You can feel yourself gettin' older with each rattle of the train.
You strike up a match and light up a cigarette.
Look out the window at a canyon below
At the back of the train you got the best view.
Not a cloud in the sky.
And you pray for the strength to say goodbye.
