Ode to a Broken Toe

[Verse] In the night so dark and cold A dream turned to sorrow I stumbled on a stone Toe in pain till the morrow [Verse 2] Oh the night was silent still Echoes loud of a trip so real A fleeting step a broken will My toe meets the cruel ordeal [Chorus] Oh woe oh woe My weary broken toe Tears fall like the rain In shadow and pain [Verse 3] Silent cries fill the air My heart heavy with despair A step misplaced A moment of disgrace [Bridge] Why did fate conspire so To cause this pitiful blow A simple misstep I regret And my sorrow won't forget [Verse 4] In this dark and lonely state I mourn my toe’s cruel fate No dance no gleeful swing Only the melancholic sting
