Bridging Love and Loss

Written and Recorded by GWN Mentees and Mentors at the May '09 Songwriting Workshop

Hear "Bridging Love and Loss" on YouTube

I bought a one-way ticket from my reality
Time and fate blur into broken lines
No more days of melancholy
We regret our lost memories
Your empty footsteps are fresh air
My dog sleeps till I return

Chorus:
We speak our words so easily
But in love or loss, we have to sing
To show the world our pain and glee
To prove we’ll heal from anything

She left the house in handcuffs
I didn’t feel bad 'cause I didn’t know her well enough
She was searching for the pieces – to glue ’em together
The bridge from love to loss is not far
Hearts are calloused like old cliches
She’s swimming through cyberspace looking for me

Chorus:
We speak our words so easily
But in love or loss, we have to sing
To show the world our pain and glee
To prove we’ll heal from anything
