i can feel a strong desire a distant fire burning through the past deep inside my heart is yearning a bridge is burning there s just no turning back after all the hell i ve tasted years i ve wasted love that slipped away suddenly a vision shook me i see the fool i d become content to play over one way streets in blindin heat i carry this torch alone i ask for no directions home you can call out my name but i won t return i m a fugitive of love and this heart s been burned burnin bridges behind me you can follow me down but it s plain to see i m a victim of the burn and it s third degree setting bridges on fire i will go to any length to find the strength to face the night alone standing on the edge of time i cross the line my heart becomes my own gonna tell you why you re a fool to try to cross a burning bridge it s a long hard fall from the top of the ridge you can call out my name but i won t return i m a fugitive of love and this heart s been burned burnin bridges behind me you can follow me down but it s plain to see i m a victim of the burn and it s third degree setting bridges on fire
