Verse
Sweet relief to wake to the rain
Upon my roof in the attic by my bed
Loud enough to wake me to the visions
That had come taken root in the night
Chorus
Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain
Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain
But dont stop when I tell ya
Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave
Til youve taught me and Ive learned from thee
Verse
Sweet relief to know that the spirit of change
Receives me in its arms
But whats it take to know and recognize
The touch of wisdom when it greets me with a fight
Chorus
Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain
Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain
But dont stop when I tell ya
Turn your ear when I beg for you to leave
Til youve taught me and Ive learned from thee
Bridge
Oh trouble, do I hear my name
When youre talking behind closed doors?
Is it debts unpaid of the money Ive made
That brings you back once more?

Chorus
Oh trouble be gentle when you bring me pain
Oh trouble be soft like the morning rain
But dont stop when I tell ya

All my life Ive fought with you
Trying to make my way through
The pouring rain (Xs 2)
