Monday left it's callus on my feet 
I tried so to keep up 
It kept dragging me behind 

Tuesday lashed it's blisters upon my hands 
I wish to clench them in defense 
But the joints wouldn't bend 

Wednesday cracked it's whip upon my back 
I hunched over in pain 
My bones began to ache 

And I fell to the floor, but nobody came 
When I fell to the floor 
I got back up again 

Thursday's weather cut across my face 
Those lines never went away 
And my hair was stripped to grey 

Friday tried to wipe my tears away from my eyes 
But still I had to cry 
I had to nothing to show for my life 

But these calluses and all of these blisters 
These aching bones and these lines upon my face 
This frail, decaying frame 

Saturday brought grapes up to my bed 
Said, “Rest your weary head 
Just forgive and soon forget” 

Sunday left me roses at my feet 
It said, “Boy, you're free to leave” 
And close my lids to sleep
