London Bridge

(Album: Bread - 1969)

I know the times the times are hard to bear
It's hard to find someone to really care
But before I went down and out
Here's what I used to think about, think about

London bridge is always falling down,
But there it stood within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come

The changes taking place are everywhere
The centuries past have nothing to compare
Where they stand, where they trip and fall
Watch the writing on the wall, on the wall

London bridge is falling down at last,
And so another memory of the past
Has fell beneath the blade, but soon the dead may be repaid

I know things just can't evolve for all eternity
The thoughts will leave, will never die, and now so you can see

London bridge is finally falling down,
It packed it up and shipped it outta town
And though the horror's gone, the memory will linger on
London bridge is finally falling down,
It used to stand within the heart of town
Reminding everyone of life behind and life to come
London bridge is finally falling down
