The Bridge (Envy) Lyrics

[Vocal - Jane Siberry
 Congas and Bongos - Su Hadjopoulos]

Down there in the ashes
There's gold and silver too
Dear sister, I try to share with you

"Smug," you said
"Take your spoils away"

And you broke the bridge on your side

You wither my trouble
And all I dream to do
With half-smiles
Until I scream at you

"Mad," you said
"That's how you repay"

But you broke the bridge on your side

And where am I
As I swallow your tears
And the prince with the slipper appears
Do you hack at your heel
Do I try not to feel

I fail with my anger
And with my sympathy
I tremble - so little left for me

"Harsh," you said
"Now you walk away"

But I left the gold for you to find
When you broke the bridge on your side
