Hospital Floor

from Hold on Too Tight by Schooner

/

lyrics

In a hospital open floor
where the nurses are waiting for
carbon images on the door
of some people you never saw.
And the smell of the hallway fills;
in your head there is death and wills.
And you hold off the heat and chills
while the doctors keep running around.
If you laid down here some would agree;
you are more fit to stay here than leave.
In a room where you couldn’t believe
you were born but were never cut free.

Lay here and fend for your own,
I may not keep you warm.
Born in a hail filled rainstorm
under a stained filled form;
dressed in dumb luck you wore
proud like a birth-marked fore.

And the thoughts that you couldn’t kill,
and the simple things you can’t feel,
and the laughter you couldn’t hear,
are leaving with the year.
If you laid down here some would agree;
you are more fit to stay here than leave.
In a room where you couldn’t believe
you were born but were never cut free.
