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;
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 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.
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 know where the hurt is and how to heal.
Spare me? Don't spare me anything troubling.
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, 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.

Yes, I agree. Great tune and lyrics. In a similar vein, listen to their "Our Time In Eden" CD sometime paying particular attention to the song "Gold Rush Brides" in which she talks about the lives of these women. Each of these songs paint quite a picture for the listener who opens his / her ears and mind to enjoy it... http://www.radioparadise.com/ios-content.php?name=songinfo&song_id=34283 [ Reply ]

By obscurists I mean those who don't like a singer, musician because they become popular and successful...and like to like bands that no-one else has heard of. Nat is quality. And you really know it! No, it's more like she has an annoying, nasal, affected sound to her voice as if everything were heartfelt and touching but with no real soul. Combine that with being over-played and people will naturally complain. [ Reply ]
