The Bridge Became a Cave — A Song Inspired by JR's La Caverne du Pont Neuf turns Paris' oldest bridge into a temporary walk-through cave installation with sound by Thomas Bangalter, open only June 15-28.

[Verse 1]
I crossed on stone with the river below
Shoes on the seams where the old lamps glow
Everybody hurried through the evening rain
Nobody heard that the bridge had changed

[Pre-Chorus]
There was a breath in the traffic hum
A hollow note where the arches run
I put my hand on the city wall
And felt it open underneath us all

[Chorus]
Come down, come down, where the stone dreams low
The bridge became a cave tonight
All our shadows learned to sing
In the mouth of the hidden thing
The bridge became a cave tonight

[Verse 2]
Inside was dark but the dark was warm
Names on the ceiling like coming storms
The river kept counting the boats outside
I found my echo and it sounded alive

[Bridge]
I was only crossing to get back home / but the city put a pulse in the bone / now every ordinary road I take / has a sleeping room underneath its face

[Final Chorus]
Come down, come down, where the stone dreams low
The bridge became a cave tonight
When the morning folds it away
I will still know where the doorway stays
The bridge became a cave tonight
