Bitch on the Bridge

I lose track  
of all your memories
like shadow souls  
they sail away
 
I journey back  
to where we started
on that fateful  
summer's day
 
Up on the bridge  
across the river
I held you close  
and kissed your lips
 
And as we gazed  
into the sunset
you jumped on to
a passing ship
 
How I wish
that I'd gone with you
holding hands  
to land on deck
 
But when a sailor  
broke your fall
you smiled  
and grabbed him
round the neck
 
Now every day
I scan horizons
then stand and wonder  
what I did wrong
 
As years roll by
I cant help thinking
your little trip around the bay
shouldn't ever  
take this long
