Vibrating Water / The Burgoyne Bridge Song
Vibrating Water / The Burgoyne Bridge Song, Ray Scott
O’ Scarla O’Sharma’s got Suspension trauma
Sleepin’ on sidewalks, crawling outta’ ditches
Living in the moments of the skyline wind
Hangin’ offa’ balconies, ledges, cliffs n’ bridges
Twelve miles of tears that journey toward solution
Forgetting your present is self-persecution
Whoa Hans Pandler, was climbin’ pickets or’ the creek
Shoeless soul on Downtown Street’s gone up Burgoyne’s ledge
Well the spinnin’ world and ghostly moon twirled out a stronger breeze,
And he slid right down the brackets on a hooker on St. Paul West.
And gravity must’ve brought them together
She broke her hip n’ he hit his head and that’s all he can remember
Now, they’ve owned an antique store for twenty years or more
And they both live happily forever after
Well Ben he sang for Trish while she breathed her final breath
Ol’ Beaverdam could not withstand atomic twelve mile tears
That night while the starlight shone the song put her to rest
Her soul rolled through the Henley as her cancer disappeared
And fate must’ve brought them back together
Losing everyone, all one by one is cancer on the soul
They both lived in a van and made love on command
From runaways to livin’ life, we’re all relative, ya’ know
Jaldhi pours the mailmans’ coffee at the Petrol station
Fillin’ cups of kindness, sharin’ with no hesitation
She lives all alone, her landlords’ sellin’ her home
Her big brown eyes still long for love while he vents his frustrations
And time ticked n tacked them together
He’d always find his ocean there, no matter what the weather
Now they’ve lived above separate stores for twenty years or more
And they both live happily forever after
Charity sings alone beneath Burgoyne’s bridge
Overpass n’ undertones she just loves the acoustics
Late nights in the grass along the running stream,
She curls up in her sleeping bag and begs for self-forgiveness
In a moment of weakness, in twelve mile reflection
Then a shooting star streaks across the iron white arches
And the heavens come and put her back to together
Like a firework exploding in her soul
She danced inside her mind when she left all space and time
And she finally found her peace forever after
Sandy’s a nurse at the injection clinic
A broken hearted single mom, a soul mate cynic
Teen, twin boys keeping balance their way
Hard workin’ families hold up one another
Building bridges of hope for each other
Since Charity ran away
they’re hoping everyday
hangin’ on and praying that their sister finds her way
And gravity must’ve kept them together
for some reason after bulldozing their lives turned upside down
they hold onto their faith, love each and every day
For after all, There’s homeless folk out at Burgoyne bridge, still hangin’ round, suspending trauma...
