"Body & Soul"

lyrics

I smell my pillow and I hear a sound.
My eyelids open and I'm earthward bound.
Pretty soon the sisters wheel me around.
"Body & Soul".

It's Tuesday morning so they wash my hair.
The interns greet me as I pass the stair.
I start to mumble and the sisters hear a prayer.
"Body & Soul".

I hear the Father's footsteps up and down the hall.
He'll take all morning but he'll see us all.
I hear him whisper and I hear him call.
"Body & Soul".

The dishes break and then a rolling train goes by.
My head jerks backward and I shut my eye.
My head sees Heaven and the swirling angels sigh.
"Body & Soul".

The sunburnt courtyard. The dusty hill.
The metal grating on my windowsill.
The wooden beads and all these crushed-up pills.
"Body & Soul".
