[Verse 1]
Teach me new tricks, I haven't learned anything new
In some odd years, so many years it's been and I've survived beyond you

[Verse 2]
Birds, great and small, from the balcony they call
And they seep into a drunken dream that I had dreamt about you

[Chorus]
Some like to lean on something virtuous and kind
Someone to keep in mind

[Verse 3]
Crawl from the hearth, salamanders inching forth
Too much time, far too much time has passed and now I start to feel it

[Verse 4]
When the sun sets, get as quiet as you can
Hear the worms as they turn and I swear you'll see them glistеn

[Chorus]
Some like to lean on somеthing virtuous and kind
Someone to keep in mind
Some like to lean on something virtuous and kind
Someone to keep in mind
