Two cities Side by side A flowing river The only divide To cross this river This steady stream They build a bridge A golden gleam It reflects the sun It sparkles the river Along with the moon The small light sliver They make it glow So great and grand Watch waters flow Past shores of sand This bridge is build Yet gold is weak A precious metal We often seek For it is shaped by hands That don't need tools Emotional molds Our feelings in jewels For we mold the gold Into what we want Our desires reflected Our hearts, we flaunt We wanted a bridge To unite the cities To travel across To ship wine and cheese To trade goods and Information Experience and memory Our hearts transportation And our personality But the golden bridge Can't take the weight Of all these goods Across the straight And slowly we see That piece by piece The bridge fades And the trades cease The bridge sinks down For gold can not bear The weight of our hearts And the love that we share Curse the emotion That molded the gold Time has tarnished the work And our bridge becomes old Its color fades It's strength fails And into the river Downstream it sails The trade falls in The good cease to flow The sun no longer Makes the water glow It all fades away The cities grow distant And everything is lost The downfall is instant We doomed ourselves From the very start We built a bridge Made to fall apart Our emotions that founded A great experience together Would cause us to separate Now distant, forever

The Golden Bridge
Two cities Side by side A flowing river The only divide To cross this river This steady stream They build a bridge A golden gleam It reflects the sun It sparkles the river Along with the moon The small light sliver They make it glow So great and grand Watch waters flow Past shores of sand This bridge is build Yet gold is weak A precious metal We often seek For it is shaped by hands That don't need tools Emotional molds Our feelings in jewels For we mold the gold Into what we want Our desires reflected Our hearts, we flaunt We wanted a bridge To unite the cities To travel across To ship wine and cheese To trade goods and Information Experience and memory Our hearts transportation And our personality But the golden bridge Can't take the weight Of all these goods Across the straight And slowly we see That piece by piece The bridge fades And the trades cease The bridge sinks down For gold can not bear The weight of our hearts And the love that we share Curse the emotion That molded the gold Time has tarnished the work And our bridge becomes old Its color fades It's strength fails And into the river Downstream it sails The trade falls in The good cease to flow The sun no longer Makes the water glow It all fades away The cities grow distant And everything is lost The downfall is instant We doomed ourselves From the very start We built a bridge Made to fall apart Our emotions that founded A great experience together Would cause us to separate Now distant, forever
