BON JOVI Burning Bridges LYRICS
A Teardrop To The Sea
So this is it
Here it is
A pot of gold
A Judas kiss
I got what I wanted
I paid every cost
I'd give it all back
To get back what I've lost
Like a wave on the beach
Last leaf on the tree
It's all just a memory
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying, I'm choking
I'll fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
They shake my hand
Pat my back
They know my drink
Welcome back
The life of the party
Tears of a clown
Can't hear a heartbreak
The music's too loud
Love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My treasure just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying, I'm choking
I fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No time for goodbye
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
It's just broken glass
Chalk lines on the scene
Move along, move along
Ain't nothing here to see
Oh, love pick me up
I'm down on my knees
My riches just rags
Wings that don't fly
I ain't praying, I'm choking
I fix what's been broken
Got nothing to hide
No bitter goodbyes
Oh, love pick me up
Oh, love pick me up
Nobody grieves
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea
A teardrop to the sea

We Don't Run
Take a look around you, yeah, the sky is falling
Sinners say your prayers this train is off the tracks
Nothing is forever when tomorrow's calling
Dancing with the devil to get one day back
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
'Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a Phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future it's a new day
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountains
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in, (run)
We don't run
We don't run
Take me to the banks of your muddy water
Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
'Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a Phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future it's a new day
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in, (run)
We don't run
We don't run
We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in, (run)
We don't run
We don't run

Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning
I was living my life like a long-lost weekend
Never felt nothing, jumping right into the deep end
I wasn't missing nothing, that was ever worth getting
Never hung around enough to regret it
You came walking in late but just in time
You ended my excuses with a ten cent rhyme
Your shoes and attitude were stacked way up high
I knew right then you were the story of my life
Oh! Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets, I took that step, yeah I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah
When you're driving down a street that's only going one way
When every day starts feeling like a month of Mondays
You should know I still got something left to prove
I know what it takes to get back to you
Oh! Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets, I took that step, yeah I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah
Remember those nights staring out at the lights
Making time with our feet in the sand
Making up words to our favorite songs
Laughing loud with those drinks in our hands
And as that boy put his head on her shoulder
She pulled him tight to get a bit closer
And as the world just disappeared
You whispered in my ear
Oh! Saturday nights gave me Sunday mornings
Opened my eyes, now it's a new day dawning
Think I might have pushed my luck a time or two
Everything about us is what gets me through
I never thought I'd hear the church bells ringing
I never learned the song this heart was singing
No regrets, I took that step, yeah I'm still falling
Saturday nights gave me Sunday morning, yeah
Sunday mornings

Blind Love
Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day
Sit at the counter counting tips
Can't count on nothing else these days
Don't want to go home to the T.V.
Don't want to go down to some bar
You grab a blanket,
Put the top down
And go driving in your car
Though your bed's as warm as January
On this cold December's night
Close your eyes love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
Cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home try love
Welcome to another morning
The sun's still shining, but it's grey
Get out of bed now sleepy head
You'd give an arm to hear him say
Oh, and no one said that it'd be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
To close your eyes love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
Cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home try love
If there's an patron saint of blind love
I hope he keeps me on your mind, love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye, love
These days it's hard for me
To feel the sand beneath my feet
With this gunny sack and boots on
Oh, but no one said this would be easy
And no one said it'd be this hard
Close your eyes love
Sleep safe and sound tonight
Cause blind love
Is guiding every step I take
It's one less I got to make
Till I find my way home try love
If there's an patron saint of blind love
I pray he keeps me on your mind, love
With every moment I'm away
We're getting closer to the day
We'll never have to say goodbye, love
With our blind love
Blind love
Welcome to another hard night
You made it through another day

I'm Your Man
When your heart is hungry
When you want a secret you can keep
You know that you can call me
Anytime for anything you need
No one asking questions
No need for alibis
No need for wasting words
I'm who I am
I'm your man
No job that I can't handle
There ain't much that I ain't done
I'll be that one call that you get
When you can't call no one
When the room is dark and empty
There's no need to explain
Baby I'll come running, here I am
I'm your man
We know not to ask questions
So no one has to lie
We both know without hello
There won't be no goodbyes
No promises that we won't keep
No more to understand
Tonight you're my woman and I'm your man
I'm your man
We both know we're lonely
When we hold each other tight
But we won't ask forgiveness
When we walk away at night
No one asking questions
No need for alibis
No need to say those words
Just take my hand
I'm your man
