“Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.”
Seal (musician) (1963) British singer-songwriter
"Prayer For The Dying"
Seal (1994)
Context: Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.
