Job 3:26: "For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.
I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come."
In 2016 my friend Roike put out an album named after this song. I recorded a version with Francesco Conte for my album 12 Bars of Blues.
Listen: Ben's version, Roike's version
Well I was steadfast
And I was sane
I was steadfast
And I was sane
And the words you spoke kept ringing
Ringing through my brain
I was safe and I was careful
Yet trouble it came
Well I was watched over
And I was true
I was watched over
And I was true
And I stayed out of folk's business
And I stayed out of harms way
I was safe and I was protected
Yet trouble it came
Little child with your head in the clouds
You know there ain't no place to hide
People get petty and people get proud
So just open your arms out wide
'Cause there ain't no door been built that can keep it out
There ain't no door been built that can keep it out
And there’s not a wall constructed That will not fall away I was safe and I was careful Yet trouble it came
