Me playing guitar.

Dreams

Burning Bridges

Music and Lyrics by Trabue Gentry

1974

Burning bridges at the alter

saying grace and that you do

with this done the war is over

but, the battle's never through

Songs are sung in admiration

medals given in exchange

no one practices the meaning

is it so far out of range?

With the bandages around you

some security is found

but, the wound is so much deeper

it may put you in the ground

With the battle almost over

sides are running out of plays

having lost the battle evenly

both go on their separate ways

Never owning one another

though they thought this was untrue

Nothing gained from their encounter

What they had they never knew
