> When you're weary,feelin' small When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all,I'm on your side Oh when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you, I'll take your part Oh when darkness comes, and pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl, sail on by Your time has come to shine All you dreams are on their way See how they shine, Oh if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind...
Simon and Garfunkel
if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water
I think the 'bridge' over troubled water is representative of him and laying himself down over the troubled waters to help the weary through hard times. I love this song and I think it has to do with comforting and supporting someone in pain and feeling alone, that they can count on you even when other 'friends just can't be found.' He says 'I'll take your part' not 'i'll tie you off'. This song was written by Simon about his wife...The 'sail on silver girl' bit refers to the time Paul's wife was upset over the fact that white hairs were beginning to appear on her head. It is beautifully sung and the piano is heart wrenching undoubtedly. well done simon & garfunkel. I've heard this song over 10,000 times and it will never get old.
K.Thai me up , Thank you for your opinion. I have never heard of Simon's wife and the background but I love this song so much. It will never get old. Thank you for beautifully comment.
