Won'T Let Pain Win
'Won't let pain win'
From restless mind
To restless leg
Hung out to dry
Like clothes on peg
Been many years
Since pulled all nighter
Not same kind
Now spoons* are tighter
Can't stay rested
Won't lie still
Mind can't fix
Nor doc 'scribe pill
As fight the night
Must not give in
With all my might
Won't let pain win
