On the bridge to Williamsburg
We were walking in the sun
The river rippled wide below
Stood to watch the water flow
We stood to watch the water flow
Underneath the Brooklyn sky
Hand in hand just you and I
The ferry racing on the tide
The broken sugar factory sign
The broken sugar factory sign
I am old enough I am young enough
I have lived enough I am strong enough
I have hurt enough I have loved enough
And I’ve been here for long enough
All was in that perfect day
We were talking all the way
Until I had to head for home
We’d gone as far as we could go
We’d gone as far as we could go
Though we turned back half way love
Some things we had to take care of
My head filled with this melody
Before we reached Delancey Street
Before we reached Delancey Street
On the bridge to Williamsburg
We were walking in the sun
Perhaps one day we’ll take the time
See what’s on the other side
See what’s on the other side
