Troubled Man - Big Country

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 Friendship all be gone

With 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
