{Verse} Stare down the garden through the rain He's sitting there again Black carrion crow Black crow Through all the years I've known He's always come and gone But now it looks as if he's here to stay {Chorus} So don't lean on me now I've got to rescue myself I've got to rescue myself {Verse} And as I look at him A brand new path begins Inside my soul My soul {Chorus} So don't lean on me now I've got to rescue myself I need a spoonful Of sweet medicine tonight So don't lean on me now I've got to rescue mysеlf I've got to rescue mysеlf {Spoken interlude} {Chorus} So don't you lean on me now I've got to rescue myself I need a spoonful (spoonful) Of sweet medicine tonight So don't lean on me now I've got to rescue myself I've got to rescue myself So don't lean on me now I've got to rescue myself I've got to rescue myself
