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...
