bonnie raitt - down the hall كلمات الأغنية

down the hall lyrics
i had the flu in the prison infirmary
my last day i looked up and saw
a man wheeled around the corner
down to skin and bones, that’s all

i asked the nurse where he was goin’
she said, “hospice down the hall
he probably won’t be in there long
any day we’ll get the call”

i asked if they let family in
she said, “not really at the end
truth is, a lot don’t have someone
no friends or next of kin”

the thought of those guys goin’ out alone
it hit me somewhere deep
i asked, could i go sit with ’em
for some comfort and relief?
next thing you know, i’m on the ward
doin’ things you can’t believe
like shavin’ julio’s bony head
crackin’ him up when i wash his feet

oh well, i used to run when i saw tyrone
knowin’ your place’s what it’s all about
and now he’s here doubled up in pain
cancer eatin’ him from the inside out

i sit and wait outside his stall
to help him when he’s done
whatever shame we might have felt
well, all that’s come undone

well, i can’t undo the wrong i did
give back the life i took
but maybe when it comes my turn
i’ll get a second look

i don’t know ’bout religion
only know what i see
and in the end when i hold their hand
it’s both of us set free
