Legs A Jumping

Legs A Jumping

by Bud Lemire on Apr 25, 2006

Legs a jumping, pain a flowing

Misery calling, nobody is knowing

How can they know, they are not me

And the pain I feel, they can not see

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes I'm awake

Until the pain, makes my whole body ache

I want to cry out, the pain is so strong

But I hold it in, soon she'll be along

Maybe she'll give me a pain pill, it'll help me sleep

The feeling I have, sure goes pretty deep

Time goes so slow, as I look at the clock

There must be a key to this pain, that I can unlock

She adjusts my pillows, and separates my feet

And for a moment in time, our eyes meet

Can she see, the misery I feel?

A nightmare, that seems all too real

She gives me a drink, refreshing water for me

But I choke on it, swallowing repeatedly

With my legs a jumping, all through the night

I hope she knows, she's my guiding light
