Bridge over Troubled Water

I was struggling for a Blip today, I had pinned my hopes on a beautiful sunset but true to form the clouds slowly descended so that was not to be. Emergency...

I have been selecting lyrics recently for some Blips, songs often that I have played when I have busked or gigged solo and acoustic, and tonight I turn to one of them. This is one of the most beautiful lyrics, in my opinion anyway. It expresses true friendship and allows me to say in song what sometimes is difficult to say to those we love for they bat it away...

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

With the dry spell not so much the troubled water in the river but the metaphor is strong, we struggle every day in different ways, I hope for those I need and love in my life I can be that bridge whenever they need me day or night just a call away.

Enjoy the shot enjoy the lyric be accepting of the bridge and never be afraid to reach for it whenever you are in need of comfort or maybe just the company of those who care the most
