pass the match then turn your head
there's bridges to burn till nothing's left

light it up and burn it down
no way will i go back now

i tried to do the best i could
that any man standing would

but even that at times is not enough
as smoke is rising over the bluff

do you think they will remember me
when without a bridge the water's deep

no need to swim the other side
i'll get on with life in the coming tide

so pass the match and turn your head
there's bridges to burn till nothings left
