[00:05.64].
[00:08.58]I walked by harborview hospital
[00:13.92]I heard the Agnus Dei
[00:17.78]Oh sister of mercy
[00:22.72]I’ve been gone too long to say
[00:27.22]And all around this place I was a sad disgrace
[00:35.10].
[00:44.24]They’re singing, they’re singing
[00:49.13]Away up on the hill
[00:53.07]They’re building, they’re building
[00:57.94]A mystical union, beautiful and still
[01:02.26]But down here in the dirt they’ll say it doesn’t hurt
[01:10.38].
[01:46.01]The devil’s ascended
[01:50.82]Upon some crystal wings
[01:54.62]In the citadel lightning
[01:59.67]Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends
[02:04.29]And with a vacant stare I’ll leave a flower there
[02:14.29].
[02:20.95]They’re riding, they’re riding
[02:25.85]A hellhound down the hill
[02:29.87]They’re sinking, they’re sinking
[02:34.67]Into the ocean, beautiful and still
[02:39.37]And yet it’s hard to leave in wealth or poverty
[02:47.40].
[03:22.20]I walked by harborview hospital
[03:27.71]And stopped at Ninth and James
[03:31.52]Oh sister of mercy
[03:36.46]I’ve been down too far to say
[03:40.90]Are they supposed to be as sick as you and me?
[03:48.57].
