When you're weary Feeling small When tears are in your eyes When town and state frustrate Neighbors act in stride, oh When your beams get rust And road signs can't be found Like a bridge o'er the Sawmill River We'll be whole someday Like a bridge o'er the Sawmill River We'll be whole someday When you're down and out On Center Street When you've been fully closed Neighbors comfort you We'll sing your song, oh So when traffic comes Nobody gets confused Like a bridge o'er the Sawmill River We'll be whole someday Like a bridge o'er the Sawmill River We'll be whole someday Sail on Center Street Sail on by Your time will come to shine We'll get you rebuilt someday Until then we'll sing, oh If you need a bridge Take the South Street bridge instead Like a bridge o'er the Sawmill River We'll be whole someday Like a bridge o'er the Sawmill River We'll be whole someday
