Girl On A Bridge (Studio) by Tom Kozlowski

It was a cold December night I walked through empty streets

Passed the shops on market square snow crunched beneath my feet

I didn't care where I ended up I had no place to go

Left it up to providence and where the four winds blow

There she stood a lone figure in the mist

First time I saw the girl on a bridge


I looked into her poet's eyes as long as she'd allow

She carried the weight of the world like thorns upon her brow

She told her story of unrequited love

She couldn't carry that torch no more but she couldn't give it up

That's when she said she'd never be missed

All just happenstance I met this girl on a bridge


We spent the whole night long talking 'till the dawn

We watched the sun come up and I thought her ghosts were gone


Each time we'd meet again beneath the same street light

Midnight on the bridge her silhouette against the sky

She took me to places I'd never been before

Opened up my eyes to the things we all adore

Nothing in the world can compare to this

To know she's waiting for me that girl on a bridge


Tonight this rendezvous will be our last

Leave behind our sorrow and soon forget the past

Beneath a pale moon I heard the clock strike twelve

Waited all night long standing by myself

There's nothing left but cold dark waters in the abyss

Not a trace of the girl on a bridge

I just can't help myself I'm inclined to reminisce

Maybe she'll come back someday that girl on a bridge

nice

[tjkoz22]

Thank you very much. I am also a fan of Leonard Cohen. He's a brilliant songwriter/poet. I agree with you: that's a hauntingly beautiful song of his that you commented on. His songs are deeply moving.

I love his soul.

Tom

sorry i didn't mean: nice

i meaned: nice, nice, nice :)

this is my favorite movie and your music is great too

[tjkoz22]

I understood your "nice" comment, my friend, no offense taken. Thank you so much for taking time to listen to my stuff. Yes, it is a beautiful film, it has many tender moments. I love the knife-throwing scene where it is just the two of them near the train tracks. I think it's one of the finest scenes in any film. I love the song in that scene, too. It brings tears to my eyes. If only life could be the same.

[tjkoz22]

On second thought--I guess I'd have to say life is that way.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see this movie. When was this shown? The lyrics of the song speaks rare enlightened moments that come in the darkest hours, I think you have caught glimpses of what life is really about. Awesome 5*
