TROUBLE ME continued

Natalie Merchant / Christian Burial Music © 1989

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
