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?
