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 [bad word] you. 
I'll take your part when [bad word]  
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 silvergirl, 
Sail on by. 
Your time [bad word] 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.
