another bump... for jenna this time...(((hugs)))
10, 000 maniacs-trouble me
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
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.
(trouble me)
let me have a look inside these eyes
while I'm learning.
(speak to me)
please don't hide them
just because of tears.
(trouble me)
let me send you off to sleep
with a "There, there, now stop
your turning and tossing."
(trouble me)
let me know where the hurt is and how to heal.
spare me?
don't spare me anything troubling.
trouble me.
(trouble me)
disturb me with all your cares
and your worries.
(speak to me)
and let our words
build a shelter from the storm.
lastly,
(speak to me)
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.
