What I've Been Listening To..

My all time favorite artist is Johnny Cash, the man in black. I have always loved his songs, his style, and OH MAN his voice! There is just something about his deep bass-baritone voice that is so beautiful and comforting. With everything that's been going on in my life in the last few weeks though, I have found myself listening to his cover of this Paul Simon song over and over.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I'm on your side
Oh 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
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'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

~Paul Simon
