Trouble Me

Trouble
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.
Let me
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, 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.
Let me
And 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.
