lyrics

Will you lean on me,
If your cards drift away
And your left in the night
With no light on the way?

Will you lean on me
When you bury your head
And your tables of silk
Have Turned to piles of debt?

Will you lean on me
When they come to the farm
And their suits are untouched
By the dirt in your lawn?

I’d lean on you

Will you lean on me
When the phone doesn't ring
When you thought that the winter
Was finally spring

But it's not, this you know
It has always been cold
And you never shall cede
All the cards that you hold

For you clutched them so white
As the creditors came
And plucked them from
Each little finger the same

I’d lean on you

Will you lean on me
when you've exhausted your fame
And the sisters from mass
Shake their heads at your pain

Will you lean on me
when your deputies call
After weeks in the morgue
And say none was resolved

Will you lean on me
When your letters arrive
From Amherst and Forbes
And say you were denied

I’d lean on you
