When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
… Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, 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 the pain is all around
… Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Oh, 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 your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right, oh, behind
… Yeah, like a bridge over troubled water
I, I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
