Joan Armatrading - Trouble lyrics

rate me

You've lived your life

And how you survived

I'll never know

People talk of hardships

What do they know

What do they know

Of the strength you had to show

To stop yourself from crying out

To keep you head above the sand

Those times when you were in dispair

When trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You told him straight don't call again

Now there were times

When it seemed I didn't care

Don't misjdge my silence

You had my sympathy

I had sympathy

And I admired how you

Stopped yourself from crying

Kept your head above the sand

When trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You told him straight

Don't call again

And now the future's looking bright

You fought alone and won the fight

Kept your faith

When times were hard you made it through

Trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You stopped yourself from crying out

You kept your head above the sand

Those times when you were in despair

Trouble seemed your only friend

Somehow you kept your spirits high

You told him straight

Don't call again
