两位歌手是来自我们现在居住的社区里!当然那是六十年代。

"When you're weary, feeling small." 
"When times get rough and friends just can't be found"
"When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all"
"If you need a friend I'm sailing right behind"

我对歌词的理解:
Bridge:
 
"The bridge over troubled water is a metaphor (比喻) - the purpose of a bridge is to keep people from falling in the water. Crossing a lake or river during a storm (so when the water is “troubled”) is both difficult and dangerous. But when there’s a bridge, whatever’s below it doesn’t matter to the people crossing it because the bridge keeps them safe.
