Lyrics: Like a bridge over troubled, troubled water I will ease your mind, your mind
Comments: Gorgeous, resonant version that starts in F# minor, takes a trip via circle of fifths to C, with a power-buildup starting with an F6, moving up to the first mind on an inverted A add13 chord. Reemphasize with Dmajor7 to Amajor7 where 2 of the lower parts share the G# at the bottom, sliding to the nice resolved A at the end (That eases your mind right?). I originally had this start with a sinister parallel diminished series down low before all this, but figured it sounded better without it.
