Bridge Over Muddy Water<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSpring water———-Crystal clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

She heard him say whenever she was near.<\/p>\n

To her it all seemed rather unclear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One day she asked him to explain.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cMuddy water causes such pain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes it can drive a person insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When she heard this it was a shock.<\/p>\n

She had never given it much thought.<\/p>\n

But, as she thought, she began to plot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There has to be a way around<\/p>\n

this crystal clear spring water sound.<\/p>\n

A bridge is the way she found.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A bridge of friendship kindled right.<\/p>\n

Always keep the relationship tight.<\/p>\n

The light at the end of the road is bright.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s easy to lose your way.<\/p>\n

Into the cool water, you\u2019ll want to play.<\/p>\n

Whether at night, or even day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then the water turns muddy.<\/p>\n

The relationship gets real cruddy.<\/p>\n

You could end up with both all bloody.<\/p>\n
