Big Country - Troubled Man Lyrics






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 friendships all be gone
And 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

    So true...I truly understand your statement to the fullest.  Until a person has been in that deep, dark hole of emptiness they can't understand.  Bless you for stating the true facts.

  44. L.... E....

    We love you Stuart

    I know you'll always be watching

  45. g.... d....

    Stuart, I miss you. God Bless you, and keep you close. You gave us so many wonderful times and memorie here on earth...rest in peace. You maybe gone off this planet earth but your spirit and its kind lives for ever.

  46. d.... ....

    So sad that Stuart was in fact very troubled in his personal life.The circumstances of his death are tragic.Many people who survive suicide attempts end up being so shaken by the experience that it propels them to get help.I believe that had Stuart survived that he would also have sought help.
    It seems to me that his suicide was an impulsive act fuelled by the drink and depression.A deadly combination of forces.
    The man deserved a better fate.God bless Stuart.

  47. R.... H....

    If you listen to a lot of Stuarts music, he I think tells you how he is feeling...I relate to him and his music...I think things werent easy for him in many ways. This song would not be an exception

  48. R.... H....

    Stuart..seemed to write how he was feeling....too bad something couldnt have been done to change things....although....sometimes nothing looks good, he is missed now and forever....I think he was somehow a tortured soul!? I do love this song!!

  49. K.... ....

    Great post, well done! Not enough can be said of the lyrics Stuart crafted and the amazing music this band put together. It resonates in my heart and always will.

  50. d.... ....

    Fantastic.Another great song and post.Thanks Dany.Never heard this one before.Another example of how good this band was.They will always be remembered by their true fans.

  51. i.... ....

    Il tuo montaggio per questo video e meraviglioso!E non conoscevo la canzone. E una preziosa rarita!:-)

  52. b.... ....

    Love his music
