Jimmy Nail - I'm A Troubled Man lyrics

words and music by Paddy McAloon

girl I sing this song for you

for the miseries I've put you through

for the moods I can't explain

for the sunny days I've spoiled with rain

please forgive me if you can

girl you know that I'm a troubled man

girl you know that I'm a troubled man

child I sing this verse for you

for the duties I have failed to do

for Ihe times I wasn't there

times like broken toys, beyond repair

please forgive me if you can

child your daddy was a troubled man

child your daddy is a troubled man

God In heaven heed my plight

on my darkness shed eternal light

I am weak, you are strong

I can't count the times that I've done wrong

please forgive me if you can

lord you know that I'm a troubled man

lord you know that I'm a troubled man
