lyrics

HIGH STREET BRIDGE
by Van Walker

Street lamps let them shine on the city
Road maps let them swallow the street
O the High Street Bridge sure looks pretty
I never understood why until now
That I'm laying on my bed
& the rain is falling by my head
And I ain't needing no company
Tell me why do I feel like the night is calling
And soon I'll be out wandering the streets

Half nine & I'm late & I'm restless
It's time & I've a date to keep
With the band assuming I'm on the guest list
I catch a tram & find me a seat up the back
Now I'm rolling on the bar
& the drinks are flowing thru my heart
The band are playing with the light in their eyes
Tell me why will I hold up the bar until morning
Until I can see some more light in the sky

Back home, one more drink, toast the city
Cut the light & I turn up the lamp low
The High St Bridge & it's trucks still run busy
But once they've passed I don't care where they go
Cause I'm alright now I'm laying on my bed
& the rain is pouring by my head
And I ain't needing no company
Tell me why do I yield to this urge for roaming
When the sky is calling me
