about

Another Petunia oldie but goodie.
This has also been recorded on "Live In Toronto" album as more of a bluegrass type version.

lyrics

When all’s around your life seems dark, and all’s about to fall.
And trouble is playing on your mind, there’s trouble, trouble, trouble that’s all…

And when they lay your casket down, red roses by your side, will they say with sad regret, “There’s trouble, trouble all the time”

In this old world we’re in, where good folk go to sleep with angry hearts, and loving eyes, there’s trouble, trouble on your mind.


My grand dad when he lay to die, his time then drawing near.
“Boy”, he says, “I’m afraid to go”, and he sheds a child’s tear…

And when they laid his casket down, red roses by his side. I knew he carried foul regret for a life he’d let slip by.

In this old world we’re in where time it seems to creep, why let seconds pass you by with trouble, trouble on your mind.

In this wicked world we’re in so wrought by fool’s gold, it’s hard to see the truth sometimes and let it inside your soul…

But make your heart a garden fair, that’s pure when it’s sown with love. Now who can quench that lasting fire that soars…

…soars like a dove upon that whistling wind and leads you like a child. Keep your mind upon your heart that keeps you young and wild
