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.
