Once, my dreams came true
Once, but not for me
I told them all to you
But dreams are never clear
If I must be alone
Then let it be forever
For it takes a troubled man to know
The freedom of his fear

No longer will I look
For what can never happen
No deeper can I long
For what I know is dear
If I must live my life
In darkness and in shadow
For it takes a troubled man to know
The freedom of his fear

If words could fade away
And strangers go unanswered
Let Friendship all be gone
With no acquaintance near
For I would rather die
Than love you for this moment
For it takes a troubled man to know
The freedom of his fear
I think I'm in trouble
Once again, you come to me
I think I'm in trouble
Take this troubled man from me
