Bridge Over Troubled Water
Simon and Garfunkel:
High quality performers
Renowned for their folk rock Simon and Garfunkel created a new idiom
in the compositions of their songs which reached out and touched the
emotions of their audience.
Hitherto in the late sixties, folk was mainly country based, until a
new crop of singers/composers emerged on the scene. The duo Simon and
Garfunkel was one of them and though Sound of Silence was their first
hit it was Bridge Over Troubled Water that escalated the duo to global
fame.
When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
 I’m on your side
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
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 your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
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
