Bothered Songtext
von Over the Rhine

Don′t be bothered by the fears
I'll try to bottle them
Like my mother′s perfume
She wore it only on Sunday
Kept it safe in her room
In a chest with a key
We found it anyway

Don't be bothered by the fears
They'll only join us like the sky
That blushes red tonight
And makes the wind die down
Calms the troubled sea
More out of duty than pleasure
But out of pleasure nonetheless


Your fire burns me like a favourite song
A song I should have known all along
I feel you move like smoke in my eyes
And that is why

Don′t be bothered by the fears
That sing from my eyes like carillon
Ringing only on Sunday
On the roof down our street
Finally over the river
Ring for you, ring for me
Finally forever
It′s just I never
It's just I never thought
I never thought that I could be this free

Your fire burns me like a favourite song
A song I should have known all along
I feel you move like smoke in my eyes
And that is why
Why, why, why

Don′t be bothered, no
