"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
