I walked a brief stint on the Greenbelt. As I crossed the foot bridge near the library, I just kept thinking of the lyrics to Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water."
When you're weary,
feeling small
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all
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
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
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
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
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
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
When you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
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 mindI will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I love that song. And I love the hope and dignity of woman in the last verse. To me, it feels true of you. Sail on, silver girl.
