Trouble, now my darling', ain't the only thing that can do us in With our eyes so stuck into the sky, still i don't know where it begins But i'll carry your misfortunes on my back until the end of our days Not even rain or thunder, could ever push us out of our way This crooked love of yours, was written way before you were born And i'm not myself at times, like a memory i hold, though not my own Trouble, now my darling' is the only thing keeping us from fallin' down But i'm good if yer good, even if it means throwin out every treasure that we found Trouble, now my darling', ain't the only thing that can do us in There's a stretching line between us, still i don't know where it begins So i made a shield of roses and wait for the worst to come Not even rain and thunder could make all this pain undone
