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?
