The metaphor of the bridge has often been used throughout history to describe going to the other side of death. The author is describing watching their loved ones mourn from the distance of the bridge.
The song is played in the final scene of the episode “Rick Potion #9” of Adult Swim’s comic serie...
Look on down from the bridge
There's still fountains down there
Look on down from the bridge
It's still raining, up here
Everybody seems so far away from me
Everybody just wants to be free
Look away from the sky
It's no different when you're leaving home
I can't be the same thing to you now
I'm just gone, just gone
How could I say goodbye?
How could I say goodbye?
Goodbye
Maybe I'll just place my hands over you
And close my eyes real tight
There's a light in your eyes
And you know, yeah, you know
Look on down from the bridge
I'm still waiting for you
