Bridge In The Sky                                                   (audio link for this song here)

i was just about to cross the bridge
cause i'd heard on the other side of the river
having fun is allowed
but then the bridge started to tremble
and slowly levitate
it floated up into the sky
and was swallowed by a cloud

i saw a woman in the pouring rain
but somehow she stayed dry as a bone
she looked just as peaceful as the buddha
sitting on a lotus throne
her eyes turned into sapphires
her body turned into smoke
somehow i just couldn't stop laughing
it was like she'd told me the perfect joke

i threw a handful of dirt in the air
it spread out and blocked out the sun
but in the darkness i could see the shadow of the bridge
and i knew what had to be done
if i was ever gonna get across
i'd have to get myself up to the sky
and remembering what they'd taught me 
back in sunday school
i knew i was gonna have to die

so i set off walking through the woods
til i came to the railroad track
i laid down there looked around at the world
i said i ain't never coming back
and sure enough after awhile 
along come a big old train
but just then i saw that bridge come down
come down from the sky like rain

and coming down with that bridge there was that woman
the very same one that i thought had vanished away
i got myself up off of that railroad track
and i'm still yes i'm still with that woman today
