The hope and longing felt after love has left.

lyrics

In the past between our hearts,
there used to be a bridge.
Sadness couldn’t last,
because no broken heart stayed alone.

Oh beautiful bridge,
you seemed so strong.
How did we miss
where things went wrong?

Though I’m looking straight into your eyes,
and my arms are reaching for your face,
my darling love,
I just cannot get to your side.

In the past, between our hearts,
there used to be a bridge.
No distress could last
because our love took it away.

Please find me again,
across this ridge, ‘cause
you still know, between our hearts,
there used to be a bridge.
Sadness couldn’t last,
because no broken heart stayed alone.

Oh beautiful bridge,
you seemed so strong.
How did we miss
where things went wrong?

Though I’m looking straight into your eyes,
and my arms are reaching for your face,
my darling love,
I just cannot get to your side.

In the past, between our hearts,
there used to be a bridge.
No distress could last
because our love took it away.

There is no chance I could explain,
how much my life would be in vain
If the way across the bridge
were forever closed.

Please, sweetest love,
Send back your heart
across the ridge.
