W' Any trouble that I've known, I was the author of it all I made my stumbles big, And my stumbles made me small And by the time I learned to walk, I only knew to crawl Any trouble that I've known, Trouble that I've known, Any trouble that I've known, I was the author of it all W' I was born above the desert sun, Below the April moon I was just nineteen with May begun, And dead and gone by June I went back once and found the place, In rubble and in ruin I was born above the desert sun, Above the desert sun, I was born above the desert sun, Below the April moon Oh Lord I only turned from you, Because you turned from me You knew that I would wander, And you knew that I would need Years but I can see now, That two wrongs won't get me free But Lord I only turned from you, Turned away from you Oh Lord I only turned from you Because you turned from me W' Any trouble that I've known, I was the author of it all I made my stumbles big and my stumbles made me small And by the time I'd learned to walk I only knew to crawl W' Any trouble that I've known, Trouble that I've known, Any trouble that I've known, I was the author of it all
