The Bridge of Sighs is a bridge in Venice connecting the Doge's palace to its prison. As convicts were led across the bridge to the prison, their final view of the outside world was through the bridge's small window. A second bit of lore suggests that kissing in a gondola as it passes beneath the bridge brings couples everlasting love. This song connects these two perspectives, passing both under and over.
