I am a troubled man
|
Trouble is what I am
|
I am a troubled man
|
And I'll take all you can give me
|
|
I walk alone
|
Hand in hand with my trouble
|
But still nobody's home
|
|
I'm in the poorhouse forever
|
I'm in the doghouse forever
|
And ever with you
|
|
I am a simple man
|
Simple is what I am
|
I am quite simply mad
|
And not particularly glad to be
|
You were a simple friend
|
I complicated you, then
|
I lost a simple friend
|
All complications unending
|
|
I think alone
|
I could use some good help
|
With my thinking
|
It's so far from home
|
|
I could think of you forever
|
I could think of us together
|
But never mind
|
|
I am a lonely man
|
Lonely is what I am
|
Heart broke and lonely
|
I think of you only
|
Are you with me?
|
|
I wasn't ever that smart
|
No, and I wasn't clever
|
To think I had hold of your heart
|
|
I could break your heart forever
|
I could break mine and yours
|
Both right in two after you
|
|
I won't go gently into that bad earth
|
I will fight for you with all that's in me
|
For all that it's worth
|
|
Can I run to you forever?
|
'Cuz if I can't run to you forever
|
How can I run to you now?
|
|
You live on my doorstep
|
Is there room in my house?
