Old bridge creaks and whines

Tires rolling heavy lines

On those bones grown old

A weight that stories told

People hurry along

No joy in the daily throng

Tired burdens on their backs

Sadness in the facts

Hear the bridge sigh tonight

Under the moon's quiet light

It bends but won't break apart

Carries weight in the dark

Slow tires on the run

Angry bones under the sun

Bridge no longer laughs free

Burden’s what they'll always be

Signs rattle in the breeze

Echoes through the trees

No worth in the strain

Only a hidden pain

Hear the bridge sigh tonight

Under the moon's quiet light

It bends but won't break apart

Carries weight in the dark

Rush by without a glance

Never give it a chance

Feel its silent cry

Watch it as you pass by
