Leaning - Judie Tzuke

There’s no easy way to say this

Nothing’s ever clear as glass

And though I’m trying to understand it

I can’t stop the urge to ask

And though I know that you need me

And I don’t want that to change

How come everyone has got a rock

And I’m caught in this hard place

He leans on her

She leans on you

You lean on me

If I fall down, we all fall down

In this pack of cards I’m playing

Patience plays a biggest part

And it’s my dreams that I am gambling

Throwing in the queen of hearts

But it’s all I can offer

So I hope that is enough

One day you might notice me

And see I’m made of softer stuff

He leans on her

She leans on you

You lean on me

If I fall down, we all fall down

Ring-a-ring o' roses

Think you got it all

A pocket full of posies

Somebody has to fall

Ring-a-ring o' roses

It’s all the silly game

And though I’m gonna get hurt

I’ll play it just the same

He leans on her

She leans on you

You lean on me

If I fall down, we all fall down
