Elton John - The Bridge (Basel 2006)

I've seen the bridge and the bridge is long
And they built it high and they built it strong
Strong enough to hold the weight of time
Long enough to leave some of us behind
[chorus:]
And every one of us has to face that day
Do you cross the bridge or do you fade away
And every one of us that ever came to play
Has to cross the bridge or fade away
Standing on the bridge looking at the waves
Seen so many jump, never seen one saved
On a distant beach your song can die
On a bitter wind, on a cruel tide
[repeat chorus]
And the bridge it shines
Oh cold hard iron
Saying come and risk it all
Or die trying
[repeat chorus]

As an original Elton fan (I was 15 when he first hit the charts) it feels me with joy to hear his performance, a true paeon return to his roots with this inciteful ballad laid over the melody of "Your Song". What a great flashback to an incredible period of pop music when Elton ruled the airwaves for six years straight.

Simply Brilliant :)

He out did himself. Elton John was always been topping himself ,and I don't think he could get any better.

What exactly does the bridge symbolize?

[@diogobh2004]

gr1mtoy6100 I think the bridge could be any obstacle in life, or life itself
