Harborview Hospital Lyrics - Blues Funeral - Mark Lanegan

I walked by Harborview Hospital 

I heard the Agnus Dei 

Oh, sister of mercy 

I've been gone too long to say 

And all around this place 

I was a sad disgrace 

They're singing, they're singing 

Away up on the hill 

They're building, they're building 

A mystical union, beautiful and still 

But down here in the dirt 

They'll say it doesn't hurt

The devil's ascended 

Upon some crystal wings 

In the citadel lightning 

Splits a cloud of butterflies and fiends 

And with a vacant stare 

I'll leave a flower there 

They're riding, they're riding 

A hellhound down the hill 

They're sinking, they're sinking 

Into the ocean, beautiful and still 

And yet it's hard to leave 

In wealth or poverty

I walked by Harborview Hospital 

And stopped at Ninth and James 

Oh, sister of mercy 

I've been down too far to say 

Are they supposed to be 

As sick as you and me?
