Bridge Too Far

Nothing to do with the film of the same name. This is my first contribution to TSF in a while. This one did unusually well on Soundcloud - I have no idea why. I don't cheat and buy plays.

Anyway, here you go - treat me kindly!

Climbing up the gangway, we’d said goodbye for the very last time

She waved me off under a shepherd’s sky, it was enough to make a grown man cry

Along the river deep n wide, our love it cannot be denied

She is my shinin’ star, however good we are, it’s gotta be - gotta be a bridge too far

As my ship sailed out to sea, my heart’s still beatin’ for her and me

What was I thinkin’, why was I runnin’, some things just ain't meant to be

Maybe I can turn the tide, I feel so empty deep inside

She is my shinin’ star, however good we are, well it’s gotta be a bridge too far

What in the world was I thinking, why did I break her heart

For a new life across the pond, for all the love in the world - it’s got to be a bridge too far

I saw the Liberty Bell, when my ship came in man I felt like hell

But she took a plane, first class as well, and straight into her arms I fell

Got a hotel near Broadway, the things we did, well I just can’t tell

She is my shinin’ star, however good we are, it’s gotta be - gotta be a bridge too far

I cheat as much as possible

You're a real good musician . The tracks balance out nicely

Well that's good.... a happy ending Chris

Well done my friend

It just got another play. It's good stuff and I see why it got so many plays.

Sound quality and melody are on point!

I agree with Elvis Nash; you are a great musician! Keep rockin'

Solid rock song. You rarely disappoint! Congrats Chris. Wish. I was a real musician like you!

That's solid! really nice rocking sound.

Clear, easy to follow story line.

One people can really sink their teeth into.

Love to hear a new song from you!

Great rock sound. The story in the lyrics is simple enough for the listener to follow without having to work - important in a rock song, I think🙂
Great stuff, Chris!

Don't forget, when you go on tour I play your bass parts, Crispy. 😁

Spot on Mr. Price - as good a rocker as is out there - very enjoyable.
