Old Man Luedecke
Send My Troubles Away
Leaves clatter 'long the ground
They skip towards me with a chattering sound
This night alone, was splendid grown
Had a hopeful green beginning but a fiery end
Will you ever know the good in you's been found
Will you ever know the good in you's been found
Were you growing in the city all alone
Was your bursting heart a torture and unknown?
I approach my door, and my life before
Will chance ever serve a night like this again
This autumn may just drown me in my home
This autumn may just drown me in my home
I'll send my troubles away
I'll send my troubles away
I'll send my troubles away
Wasn't the future gonna bring you peace
All those things you'd do some day to bring perfection and release
But self-made laws and tomorrows seem to blend
Why can't you call courage your friend
I hear the honking of the high-flying geese
I hear those high-flying geese
I'll send my troubles away
I'll send my troubles away
I'll send my troubles away
