I lay here alone day after day Wishing someone’s around to hear what I say Trying to do the best that I can As hard as it is being just one man The struggle to get up is something I dread Somebody just get me some needle and thread Anything to take my mind off this pain The throbbing and aching makes me forget my own name When the pain for a bit finally dies down I’d do anything just to get up and walk around But this is the way it has to be for now For my foot to heal I must stay foot up and couchbound.
