The Ballad of Marty Balin

Time healed your injury – Time heals all.
Not a scratch or a scar is left from your fall.
No limp, no grimace; Why, you’re good as new!
You perform; you do all that’s expected of you.
But you often wake up with that same old pain
It’s an ache or a jab or a pinch or a strain.
You slept wrong? Stepped wrong? No, you took great care!
It doesn’t matter – This pain will always be there.
And it hurts just as much as it did at the start.
It’s that way with muscles; it’s the same with your heart.
