The Bridge I Burned

The Bridge I Burned - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)

I`m walking down times square

In the electric daylight

The sailors on shore leave stand out

In their perfect white

I`m up here with my spying glass

At the window of the world

For better or for worse

It`s a perverse universe my love

Now I know I should have never walked

Over the bridge I burned

Now I know somehow I don`t feel so alone

You mutter underneath your breath

It echoes round the world

Everybody comes from nowhere

There is hope it loops up in the air

Now I know I should have never walked

Over the bridge I burned

Now I know somehow I don`t feel so alone

You said I used to be handsome

If you screwed up your eyes

Professors and vampires drank up

All the tears I cried

Now there`s a bird at my window

He feeds upon the pain

And sometimes he sings to me

A mocking bird in the twilight of infamy

Now I know I should have never walked

Over the bridge I burned

Now I know somehow I don`t feel so alone

Now I know I should have never walked

Over the bridge I burned

Now I know they`ve burned one sinner

And the others are set to follow

Now I know

Now I know

Now I know
