Lyrics
he hides away inside his room
and nobody's here to watch or listen
some people say he's just a fool
and has no sense of what is real
outside the flowers are all in bloom
children on swings are in heaven
so many trails for you to choose
but you've forgotten
what is dear to you
lean on me
come closer
close your eyes
you won't be lost
I walk alone into the room
I feel a void wider than the ocean
a cloud appears out of the blue
your mind's forever out of reach
you're half asleep in the gloom
I crack a joke and you smile at me
and now I'm left without a clue
but these are moments I want to steal
lean on me
come closer
close your eyes
you won't be lost
your loneliness keeps haunting me
like a wolf howling at my door
the tenderness and love that I feel
won't be useless anymore
your face reminds me of the moon
so pale and so hard to decipher
a quiet voice whispers and croons
that I should take you out of here
lean on me
come closer
close your eyes
you won't be lost
