This song is for Simon, a loved family member who took his life jumping off the Northbridge on Sydney's north shore. He suffered from depression and was between medications when he jumped. Simon left behind a young family and is out lived by his father and sister. I awoke that moment at 4am, myself crying, not understanding why until I spoke to my parents later that day.
lyrics
The North Bridge
1- Wind Oh, the wind on the bridge
On my skin, in my hair
I look down and stare
Dangle my feet at the ground
As it rises to meet in mid air
As it rises to meet in mid air
2- I’ll go with you oh wind
Blow away, Throw away
It’s the only way
To silence my secret, regret
My life now lying cold on the ground
At four in the morning
There is no sound
Chorus:
I will go with you, wind
I will go with you, wind
I will fly, I can fly
I am free, to be me
I can fly, sail away
I am free to be me
On the wind
3- Wind Oh, the wind on the bridge
Brother, lover, my friend
It’s the same in the end
How did you come to the place?
Of no going back no return
No going back from where
Our souls burn
Chorus:
I will go with you, wind
I will go with you, wind
I will fly, I can fly
I am free, to be me
I can fly, sail away
I am free to be me
On the wind
Outro:
I can fly. I can fly
I am free to be me
I will fly, sail away, I can fly, I am free
I will fly, sail away, I am free to be me
I can fly, sail away, I am free to be me on the wind
