Thats what you get
of all the smoke and the ash
from the bridges burning
down the path in your past.
Now where to go
when the waters get rough
no sandy area,
no dunes or big bluff.
No life boats
no rescues
no life jackets in sight,
the smoke and the ash
is way to bright.
You sulk in angry refrain
you drowned in tears and pain
from the wake of you,
from the path in your view
and all of the things
you can't possibly undue.
Thats what you get
of all the smoke and the ash
from the bridges burning
down the path in your past.
Somewhere it is written
in a book very old I think
someone said there is a way
to swim and not sink.
But I think the person
who said this great thing,
walked on water
had a halo and wings.
His offering advice
was so pungent and sound,
it was read and heard
the whole world round.
Some say its foolish
a myth or a lie
but for those in trouble
give it a try.
Follow the rules
layed out in gold
you will see that new bridges
will start to unfold.
