On a bridge over the water
He wonders if he ought to let her fly away
So he can disappear
He takes a breath and wanders
To the music over yonder in the field
As the night is drawing closer
He wonders why he chose her
As his friends are leaving, one-by-one, in twos
In vain, he tries to phone her
Alone but not as lonely as he feels
Leave me, leave it be
We're dancing alone
In love with the idea
He realises that fear of being alone
Is all that makes him carry on
The night is drawing closer
It just feels better dancing on his own
Leave me, leave it be
We're dancing alone
He lies awake at night, contemplating life
He wants it to be over
He wonders if it feels the way it always feels
As the night is drawing closer
Leave me, leave it be
We're dancing alone
On a bridge over the water
He wonders if he ought to let her fly away
So he can disappear
He takes a breath and wanders
To the music over yonder in the field
