Bridge Over Troubled Water
A Solace in Storms: Gina Sicilia's Melodic Bridge Over Troubled Water
Lyrics
When you're weary, feeling small,
Expressing empathy towards someone who is tired and feeling insignificant.
When tears are in your eyes
Addressing the presence of tears in the person's eyes.
I will dry them all
Promising to provide comfort and wipe away the tears.
I'm on your side
Stating support and solidarity with the person.
Oh, when times get rough
Offering assistance during challenging times.
And friends just can't be found
Acknowledging the absence of friends in difficult moments.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Metaphorically comparing support to a bridge over troubled water.
I will lay me down
Committing to laying down oneself to provide support.
Like a bridge over troubled water
Repeating the commitment to be a supportive bridge.
I will lay me down
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice for the other person.
When you're down and out
Describing a situation of feeling down and out.
When you're on the street
Referring to being in a difficult situation, possibly homeless.
When evening falls so hard
Describing a moment of intense emotional struggle during the evening.
I will comfort you
Promising to offer comfort to the person in distress.
I'll take your part
Committing to taking the person's side and supporting them.
Oh, when darkness comes
Acknowledging the presence of darkness and pain.
And pain, pain is all around
Highlighting the pervasiveness of pain in the surroundings.
Just like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down
Renewing the commitment to laying down for the person's sake.
Like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down
Confirming the commitment to sacrifice and provide support.
Oh yes I will
Expressing determination to follow through with the commitment.
Oh, yes ooh
Adding emotional emphasis to the commitment.
Yeah, ooh
Further expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the sincerity of the commitment.
And pain is all, is all around
Reiterating the prevalence of pain in the surroundings.
Just like a bridge over troubled water

I will lay me down

Sail on, silvergirl

Sail on by
