Kathy Mattea - The Cape lyrics

(Tom KimmelJim Pittman)

Sometimes I wonder what's the right thing

Maybe you could let me know

We were struck by lightning

A long time ago

No one else's vision

Ever let me see

How your good intentions

Cast their spell on me

Now there's a bridge I can't get over

There's a weight I can't get under

It's a dream I still remember

But it won't come true

If there's a lesson I would learn it

I would cross it now or burn it

But there's a bridge I can't get over between me and you

Love can take some crazy side streets

It can twist and turn you around

Looking for the straight and narrow

Doubt it can be found

When life's hesitation sets somebody free

Baby in your wisdom, shine your grace on me

Now there's a bridge I can't get over

There's a weight I can't get under

It's a dream I still remember

But it won't come true

If there's a lesson I would learn it

I would cross it now or burn it

But there's a bridge I can't get over between me and you

And I have lived with indecision

And hoped without a reason

Now I'm tired of all this self-pity, baby

Give me the room to leave

If there's a lesson I would learn it

I would cross it now or burn it

But there's a bridge I can't get over

Between me and you

Oh, between me and you
