troubled man

once my dreams came true

once but not for me

i told them all to you

but dreams are never clear

if i must be alone

then let it be forever

for it takes a troubled man

to know the freedom of his fear

no longer will i look

for what can never happen

no deeper can i long

for what i know is dear

if i must live my life

in darkness and in shadow

for it takes a troubled man

to know the freedom of his fear

if words could fade away

and strangers go unanswered

let friendships all be gone

and no acquaintance near

for i would rather die

than love you for this moment

for it takes a troubled man

to know the freedom of his fear

i think i'm in trouble

once again you come to me

i think i'm in trouble

take this troubled man from me
