The Bridge - Scott Walker

.

I've watched her from the river banks

I knew her when she danced with dreams

White doves were there to dress her hair

And so was Madelaine

.

At night the people's faces danced

Like pearls colliding on the breast

Of fat Marie whose thunder laugh

Was just a thread from crying

.

Her sailors stained her cobblestones

With wine and piss and death desire

And sometimes blood for Madelaine

Whose laughter was the night

.

Her girls would lift their dresses high

and breathe the stars and kiss the sky

She'd smother them with whispers then

Embrace them with her sighs

.

Before the bottle dulled my eyes

And made me so I couldn't stand

I'd overact and play the clown

When Madelaine would cry

.

And now I watch from riverbanks

I watch it weave it's memories

White doves turned gray and flew away

And so did Madelaine

.
