詞曲為Paul Simon參酌聖經詩篇與福音歌曲所作
When you&9re weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I&9ll dry them all
I&9m on your side
Oh, when times set rough
And friends just can&9t 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&9re down and out
When you&9re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I&9ll comfort you
I&9ll 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 your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh! if you need a friend
I&9m 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
