Thank you!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that for pun or Verbal Irony?

I cant find either in the song

"Troubled waters" is a euphemism of sorts for "having problems". The "waters" don't actually exist, so the idea of building a "bridge" across them could be seen as a kind of pun. I see no irony, but I can make out a pun if I squint hard. :-)
