I am tentatively starting to train for a marathon. I recently went running through my new neighborhood, and saw the bridge in the photo - this huge structure, suspended in the middle of the air. It's so weird to see such big things just... hanging there.
I went back today to take a picture of it, and wouldn't you know it... the bridge was down.
lyrics
That bridge won't come down
That bridge won't come down
Long as I stand here
That bridge won't come down
I whispered sweet nothings
To the girl at the gate
She shrugged and said brusquely
"Sir, you'll just have to wait."
That bridge won't come down
That bridge won't come down
Long as I stand here
That bridge won't come down
