"Bridge Of Sighs" lyrics - THE MOUNTAIN GOATS

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
To wash me clean

The sun don't shine
The moon don't move the tides
To wash me clean

[Refrain:]
Why so unforgiving?
And why so cold?
Long time crossing bridge of sighs

The cold wind blows
The gods look down in anger
On this poor child

The cold wind blows
The gods look down in anger
On this poor child

[Refrain:]
Why so unforgiving?
Why so cold?
Long time crossing bridge of sighs

[Outro:]
The cold wind blows
The gods look down in anger
On this poor child

Why so unforgiving?
Why so cold?
Long time crossing bridge of sighs
