Bridge Over Troubled Water (Simon & Garfunkel cover) Lyrics
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
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 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 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

his voice is so rough, but still so peaceful. great song
Love this version, especially when Fiona Apple does the background vocals. Damn, where are the comments people?
This is an amazing cover. I love Cash's voice. It goes with the song so well. Cash sure did end on a strong note. He was a talented musician.
I was always tought to swim, instead of depending on a bridge. Seems helpfull though sometimes...
Who is the original writer of this song: Simon and Garfunkel? Or did they covered it too?
i think it's awesome how every song johnny cash covered turned out better than the original. at least, that's what i think.
At last, I know that feeling of true friendship!
Beautiful cover by the way!
Perfect cover...Cash and Apple work great together. Almost like this one as much as "Hurt"
