I nearly thought I had forgotten you
Moved on with this world
And left the past behind.
But I found myself humming
What I know to be your song,
To me it's your song.

I'd heard it before somewhere,
Before the day you offered me your earphones,
But this was the first time I drowned in it
Was lost in the floating song
And words I could not quite understand.
Was it a song of sorrow, of joy?
When I reached for meaning
I found myself listening
To bridges in clouds
And a strain that haunts me from time to time
Even now,
After so long.

I remember you grinned when we found
That you and I were the only ones
Who bobbed our heads up and down to it
While the rest of our friends shook their heads
And shrugged at our defiance of nothing.
And oh, how I wanted you to smile at me then.

You're so far away that
Today
Your face is fading to fog
And as clouds raise between us,
That song is my only bridge anchored to you.
I search, and I look,
But I don't know the words
Just thirty seconds of notes
So I still don't know
What it's supposed to mean.

So I stand surrounded by white light and blue
Watching golden suspension bridges without
Any foundations sway gently in breezes,
The last untangible way to meet you
And I know it doesn't matter any more, but I 
Lost myself
Once in that song and I can't quite find my way
Back here so I fade and I
Wonder if dreams
Killed as seeds
Might have grown to be bridges in clouds...
