Dar Williams Troubled Times Lyrics

When you think you've found something
Worth holding on to
Were you reaching for attention
Hoping she would notice you?

Collecting bottles and thrown away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would refill your hands
How she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into your plan

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion, waiting 'til it's opportune
Sitting there watching time fly past you
Why do tomorrow, what you could never do

How she loved you, all you imagined
Everything you put her through
Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

And it takes a lot of nerve to ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins
The ways the days and hours pass you'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

Maybe one day soon it will all come out
How you dream about each other sometimes
With the memory of how you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
