LEAN ON ME                                         THE STORY

Lean on me
     Yes you can
Lean on me
     I understand
          you need
               a helping hand
          you need
               to lean on me

Stay with me
     you can
     and you'll find
          a loving hand
               so you can
               yes you can
     lean on me

Lean on me
     don't be shy
Lean on me
     lean and try
          to trust
               that you can
                    lean on me

Lean on me
     it's my way
          of saying
               please stay
I would love
     to have
          you lean on me

You are strong
     but don't belong
          alone

Lean on me
     come and try
          you can lean
               for a while
Come and lean
     come and lean
          come and lean
                    lean on me

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG

It's way after midnight. I'm awake. I woke up earlier.
Messy time in life, with the co-owner of our building.
I'm thinking of Philippe, of all the work - and of his being there.
And the words come into my head - lean on me.
As often has happened, I don't know if I'm taking the melody
or even words from someone else's piece.

Like long ago,when I first started hearing "words in my head,"
I don't really care - or I do care to find out, but scribble down
the words, and record the melody I hear. If it's someone
else's piece, picked up from hearing it somewhere -
which it never has been, so far - I'm sure I will find out.
In the meantime, I let the music continue to play in my head.

Lean on me
for a while,
lean on me
and try,
to trust
that you can
lean on me.

So, the story behind the song. I was thinking of Philippe
and myself when awake in the middle of the night -
the bonds between us - shaky at times -
but it seems we are making a life together.

Lean on me
and try,
to trust
for a while
that you can
that you can
lean on me.

A dozen years ago,
I began to wake up
with word pieces -
words music, spoken word, songs -
in my head.
Escape velocity.
Echo of the echo.
Tank almost empty.
Can't cross the gap.
Welcome into my world.
