10000 Maniacs - Trouble Me lyrics

Trouble me, disturb me with

All your cares and your worries

Trouble me on the days

When you feel spent

Why let your shoulders bend

Underneath this burden

When my back is

Sturdy and strong

Trouble me

(Speak to me) don't mislead me

The calm I feel means

A storm is swelling

(Speak to me)

There's no telling where it

Starts or how it ends

(Speak to me)

Why are you building

Log on to kill this message.

This thick brick wall to defend me

(Speak to me) when your

Silence is my greatest fear

Why let your shoulders bend

Underneath this burden

When my back is sturdy and strong

Speak to me

Let me have a look inside

These eyes while I'm learning

(Let me) please don't hide them

Just because of tears

(Let me) send you off to sleep

With a there, there, now

Stop your turning and tossing

(Let me) let me know where

The hurt is and how to heal

Spare, spare me, don't

Spare me anything troubling

(Trouble me) disturb me with

All your cares and you worries

(Speak to me) and let our words

Build a shelter from the storm

(Let me) And lastly, let me know

What I can mend

There's more, honestly

Than my sweet friend, you can see

Trust is what I'm offering

If you trouble me
