Under the Iron Bridge

ORIGINAL SONG (NOT A COVER) The harbor bars are pouring out, spilling into narrow streets There’s sailors, lovers, shadows drifting where the old stones meet Down beside the iron bridge, by arches worn and deep Every soul is reaching for another heart to tumble into That’s how it goes That’s how it goes now… It’s how it goes It’s how it goes now There’s chill upon the statues there but the kitchens glow with flame Voices rise against the suits while spoons and glasses clang Darkened stands the council hall, the towers keep their sleep Silver light upon the river, on the broken and the dreamers laid in heaps Cool by the tolling gateway where the wagons roll on through Cool by the tolling gateway, heaven knows what I can do for you It’s how it goes It’s how it goes now The watchmen rest inside the walls with echoes carved in stone Up along the high walk a lone guitarra cries alone Carried on the evening wind, the distant drums begin And something long forgotten turns and gazes from within Cool by the tolling gateway where the northern sorrow plays Cool by the tolling gateway, heaven knows what I can say It’s how it goes It’s how it goes now There’s a thread of flame in a lantern glass, there’s a flicker in the spire An old street singer counting time, still working past the hour Along Gran Vía footsteps fade beneath the hotel glow And some old rogue still wanders there with stories no one knows It’s how it goes It’s how it goes now --- Music generated using aimusicgen AI under commercial license.
