Generate meaning
1
I am a man who travelled everywhere
2
Holding mirages made of hair
3
Mansions of silver, women of gold
4
Well, all I had was the tale I told
5
I've been a wanderer, I can let go
6
But you would do better to stay
7
Don't burn the bridge
8
That brought you over
9
Or you'll be travelling all your days
10
I had no family, I had no real friends
11
I had a lover who more then just pretends
12
She played a mind game
13
I played it too
14
When you're in love, those're the things you do
15
I've been a loser, I've won the game
16
I've had power, fortune, and fame
17
Don't burn the bridge that brought you over
18
For you're a poor man just the same
19
Poor man
20
Poor man
21
Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all
22
That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall
23
And then you came and built a bridge where once there was a wall in my life
24
I can cross over, live on the other side
25
I was a rover, until I met my bride
26
She has the magic, I have the dreams
27
With her, my life is really all it seems
28
There's no illusion, this is for real
29
And I'm so satisfied, deep within
30
You are the bridge that brought me over
31
And you are everywhere I've ever been
32
Your man
33
I'm your man
34
Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all
35
That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall
36
And then you came to build a bridge where once there was a wall
37
Came and built a bridge where there was a wall
38
Came and built a bridge where there was a wall
39
In my life
40
In my life
