I'm A Troubled Man lyrics

words and music by Paddy McAloon
girl I sing this song for you
for the miseries I've put you through
for the moods I can't explain
for the sunny days I've spoiled with rain
please forgive me if you can
girl you know that I'm a troubled man
girl you know that I'm a troubled man
child I sing this verse for you
for the duties I have failed to do
for Ihe times I wasn't there
times like broken toys, beyond repair
please forgive me if you can
child your daddy was a troubled man
child your daddy is a troubled man
God In heaven heed my plight
on my darkness shed eternal light
I am weak, you are strong
I can't count the times that I've done wrong
please forgive me if you can
lord you know that I'm a troubled man
lord you know that I'm a troubled man
