Kurt Weill
Trouble Man
[STEPHEN, spoken]
Irina, if Absalom comes back to you, would you let me know?

[IRINA, spoken]
Yes, umfundisi. 

(sung)
Since you came first to me
Dear one, glad one
You bring all the worst to me
Near one, sad one
There's trouble in your coming
And trouble in your laughter
There's trouble in your going
And trouble after

Since you were near to me
Lost one, mad one
No other is dear to me
Loved one, bad one
I love your dark silence
Love your bright laughter
I love the trouble you bring me
The crying after

Trouble man, trouble man since you've been gone
Somehow I manage living here alone
All day long you don't catch me weeping
But oh, God help me when it comes time for sleeping
When it comes time for sleeping here alone
Trouble man, trouble man walking out there
Maybe in a strange town, God knows where
Maybe in a strange place, hurrying and walking
Listen to my blood and my bones here talking
Listen to the blood in my hands and feet
Finding you out in a far, strange street
Finding the footprints out where you ran
Asking, "Aren't you coming home, trouble man?"
Trouble man! Trouble man!
Trouble man! Trouble man!
Saying, "All day long you don't catch me weeping
But oh, God help me when it comes time for sleeping
When it comes time for sleeping here alone"
Trouble man! Trouble man!
