Wooden Bridge

I love the smell of your coffee in the morning
Love the smell of our daughter's hair
And I know the love we share is something true and rare
It's nothing we take for granted
It took us years to come this far
Now my wishes goes to someone else when I see a shooting star

Gimme an old wooden bridge to fish from
Cool clear stream running west
Let me watch the birds catch their supper
To take home to the nursery nests
So many things I thought I wanted
So few I really need
So many days been wasting working for my greed

I love to walk on sunny summer mornings
When the air's still cool and clear
Up to that crag about a mile from our house
Where I just sit and stare out over the valley
Across the fields and 'cross the fjord
I just practice doing nothing, never makes me bored

Gimme an old wooden bridge to fish from
Cool clear stream running west
Let me watch the birds catch their supper
To take home to the nursery nests
So many things I thought I wanted
So few I really need
So many days been wasted, working for my greed

I will head on for tomorrow, leave these yesterdays behind
Some only gave us sorrow, but quite a few were just fine
Sometimes I even thought that a good life
Could be from heaven-sent
'Cause I could not know that life was just
Those days that came and went

Gimme an old wooden bridge to fish from
Cool clear stream running west
Let me watch the birds catch their supper
To take home to the nursery nests
So many things I thought I wanted
So few I really need
So many days been wasted working for my greed

Gimme an old wooden bridge to fish from
A cool clear stream running west
Let me watch the birds catch their supper
To take home to the nursery nests
So many things I thought I wanted
So few I really need
So many days been wasted working for my greed
