Harborview Hospital |
I walked by Harborview Hospital |
I heard the Agnus Dei |
Oh, sister of mercy |
I’ve been gone too long to say |
And all around this place |
I was a sad disgrace |
They’re singing, they’re singing |
Away up on the hill |
They’re building, they’re building |
A mystical union, beautiful and still |
But down here in the dirt |
They’ll say it doesn’t hurt |
The devil’s ascended |
Upon some crystal wings |
In the citadel lightning |
Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends |
And with a vacant stare |
I’ll leave a flower there |
They’re riding, they’re riding |
A hellhound down the hill |
They’re sinking, they’re sinking |
Into the ocean, beautiful and still |
And yet it’s hard to leave |
In wealth or poverty |
I walked by Harborview Hospital |
And stopped at Ninth and James |
Oh, sister of mercy |
I’ve been down too far to say |
Are they supposed to be As sick as you and me? |
