Leaning On You Lyrics - Singles - Huntwork Hewitt

The sky was as black as the Bad Man's mustache 

The sun was shining down tears 

It just wouldn't set til the last child was wet 

It shone for eleventy years 

The world and his knife were leaning on me 

And trying to cut me in two 

Yeah the world and his knife were leaning on me 

And me I was leaning on you 

The kids were too high to ask themselves why 

They ever had cause to be born 

So they stayed in their beds and turned off their heads 

And their dreams remained unadorned 

The world and his dog were breathing on me 

And stuck to the sole of my shoe 

Yeah the world and his dog were leaning on me 

And me I was leaning on you 

Leaning, leaning on you 

The Bad Man filled out and learned how to shout 

His words colored the air 

So I went to the place they used to call Grace 

There weren't Nobody there 

The world and his heart were beating on me 

Til my soul was black and blue 

Yeah he world and his heart were leaning on me 

And me I was leaning on you 

Leaning, leaning on you.
