Let me hold you now till you fall asleep
Let's lay down and let it be
When the morning comes and wakes us up
We'll be back to being us again

It's a trial by fire that we're going through
But we'll survive like we always do
There's not a heat that's hot enough
To melt the bonds binding the two of us

Steel bridges won't burn
And they won't wash away
They'll stand the test of time
Baby, we're built that way

Oh, in the blistering sun or the pouring down rain
When the raging river flows
It can bear the weight of a runaway train
It's strong enough to hold
Steel bridges, steel bridges won't burn

Love these days, for most people we know
Is a passing phase, it just comes and it goes
But we've got something they all need
And I'm not gonna watch it walk away from me

Steel bridges won't burn
And they won't wash away
And they'll stand the test of time
Baby, we're built that way

Oh, in the blistering sun or the pouring down rain
When the raging river flows
It can bear the weight of a runaway train
It's strong enough to hold
Steel bridges, steel bridges won't burn

In the blistering sun or the pouring down rain
When the raging river flows
It can bear the weight of a runaway train
Strong enough to hold
Steel bridges, steel bridges won't burn

Baby, steel bridges, steel bridges won't burn
They won't burn
Steel bridges won't burn, they won't burn
