I tied my shoes on the dock
Tied all of my coats with the ropes
You stood there holding the map
Like it might fold under hope
The tide kept you in the post
And you smiled like you knew
We had no stone only thread
Only hands and what we said
If we crossed we crossed together
Step by step through the weather
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
Hold me hold me hold me please
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
You and I will learn to leave
Your house was three hills away
Past the fields where the blackbirds turn up
I'd bring you pears in a coat of rain
With my pockets full of concern
You laughed when the boards would shake
Said even scared feet can move
We had no gold only names
Only scars and summer flames
If the dark came we'd light it softly
One small spark at a time slowly
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
Hold me hold me hold me please
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
You and I will learn to leave
If the waves take shape and roar
If the night gets mean
I'll be the line you're walking for
You'll be the one for me
No heavy chain no perfect plan
Just your palm in mine
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
Hold me hold me hold me please
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
We don't break we bend with ease yeah
Crossed some bridges over bitter seas
You and I will learn to leave
