Kishore Kumar Hits — Bonnie Raitt - Down The Hall текст песни

Исполнитель: Bonnie Raitt

альбом: Just Like That...

Had the flu in the prison infirmary
My last day I looked up and saw
A man wheeled round 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 prob'ly 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
I used to run when I saw Tyrone
Knowin' your place's what it's all about
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
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
I only know what I see
And in the end when I hold their hand
It's both of us set free
