BUILDINGS & BRIDGES

ONCE THESE TREES WERE SAPLINGS
THIS HOUSE WAS WOOD AND STEEL
THIS PARKING LOT WAS FOREST
THIS SHOPPING MALL, A FIELD

ONCE I WAS YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL
THE YEARS THEY TAKE THEIR TOLL
STAY ON THIS PATH FOR AWHILE AND
IT WILL BECOME A ROAD

ALL THE BUILDINGS AND THE BRIDGES
EVERYWHERE YOU'VE RUN
GONNA TURN TO RUST,
TURN TO DUST
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS LOVE

THE BIRDS WERE STRUGGLING IN THE SKY
THE SUMMER WIND WAS BLOWING
WHEN WILL I GO THE FINAL MILE?
GOT NO WAY OF KNOWING

WHEN I FOUND MY FORMER FLAME
SHE LAY BENEATH THE WOODEN TOWER
THE STONE HAS TAKEN HER NAME
HER BED IS SNOW AND ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS

ALL THE BUILDINGS AND THE BRIDGES
EVERY ROAD YOU'VE RUN
GONNA TURN TO RUST,
TURN TO DUST
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS LOVE

EVERYTHING IN THE FUTURE
EVERYTHING TO COME
EVERYTHING YOU SAID TO HER
EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE

ALL THE BUILDINGS AND THE BRIDGES
EVERYWHERE YOU'VE RUN
GONNA TURN TO RUST,
TURN TO DUST
ALL THAT'S LEFT IS LOVE
