You Need a Mess of Help to Stand Alone

I need a breeze blowing softly
To keep my wind vane from standing
I need a whole lot of sunshine
To keep my sun dial advancing
I need some soil for my grass to grow
I need some spark to make my candle glow
Relieve my cry, ain't no shuck and jive
I need a mess to help me stand alone
I need a spark by your fire
To stop the cold of my winter
I need a burst of your rain drop
To keep a flow in my river
I need a call for my phone to ring
I need your song for my voice to sing
Please realize, I'm not half alive
Without a mess to help me stand alone
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
I need the warmth of your smile
To heat my frostbitten sorrow
I need your hand on my shoulder
To lead today's to tomorrow's
I need your strength to lock it to the track
I need your trust to fuss the things I lack
Relieve my cry, ain't no shuck and jive
I need a mess to help me stand alone
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know it, she don't know, she don't know
