(Steve Dean/Jim McBride)

I know how long it's been
So, if I can't come in
Then let me just talk to you through the door
I'm a man without a place
Lost, and lookin' for a trace
Of the warm and tender love we had before.

I closed every door behind me, shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you, and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road that leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn.

This river looks so wide
Standing on the lonely side
And, wishing I could be back home again
I'd do anything at all
Just to find a way across
And, to know that you'd forgive the fool I've been.

I closed every door behind me, shook my shoes and walked away
Turned my back on you, and everything I had yesterday
It's a long, hard road that leads back from the point of no return
And, I'm just lookin' for one bridge I didn't burn...
