Oh hospital bed
Oh hospital bed
How many you held
Are now dead?
With peeling paint
Where loved ones stood
Contemplating life
Love
And fate?
Oh hospital bed
Oh hospital bed
Worn down to muted tones
How many souls have stayed
And followed you into homes?
Though not a home for bones
You’ve seen more death
Than catacombs
Oh hospital bed
Oh hospital bed
Do some stare down
And never speak a word?
Holding cold hands
To feel something,
To be silently heard?
Starring hard
As the whole world blurs
Oh hospital bed
Oh hospital bed
What do we do?
They untucked her soul
And wheeled her out
And left us with only you
You’ll move on
But the watchers cannot
End their watch
And be through
