Bothered - 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 favorite song

A song I should have know all along

I feel you move like smoke in my eyes

And that is why, why

Don’t be bothered by the fears

That sing from my eyes like carrillon

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 favorite song

A song I should have know all along

I feel you move like smoke in my eyes

And that is why, why

Your fire burns me like a favorite song

A song I should have know all along

I feel you move like smoke in my eyes

And that is why, why, why, why, why

Why, why, why

Don’t be bothered

Don’t be bothered

Why, why, why, why, why, why

Why, why

Why, why, why, why, why

Why, why
