That Hospital |
Steve, little Bucky Herdman, Pat O’Boyle, and me |
Drank two cases of beer one night; |
the VW hit a tree |
Bucky wound up in the emergency room; |
this was sixty-four or five |
Well, I hear he’s living in Florida now, lucky to be alive |
Oh, that hospital! |
Oh, that hospital! |
Well, my dad freaked out and he wound up there one Christmas way back when |
Now I’m never gonna see him; |
he was my age now back then |
I kept staring out of that window; |
I could not look at his face |
He said, «I won’t be home for Christmas, son; |
you’re gonna have to take my place |
That hospital |
Gonna stay there in that hospital.» |
I was there again in seventy-six; |
the wife was having a D and C |
But in the end, she couldn’t go through with it, so three left: she, and me |
And that little girl who was born there, who escaped that scrape with fate |
A few months ago in Montreal I watched her graduate |
That hospital |
She was born there in that hospital |
Yeah, my sister was born in that hospital too, and now my mother’s in there |
I took the train to see her, Lord, and I sat in that visitor’s chair |
Father was angry, so afraid; |
this was not a blessed event |
Now I’m riding back on that train, wondering where our lives went |
That hospital |
I keep going back |
Hey, I could wind up in there; |
maybe so could you |
Anything can happen when there’s nothing we can do; |
And if you come to see me, Lord, and you sit in that visitor’s chair |
Take something home from that gift shop so you’ll have a souvenir |
From that hospital |
