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? |
