Fa la la is running around

All over the grounds of the hospital

I was watching for her

Like some people watch birds

From the window of my hospital room

I was trapped and tired

She was as free as I'd ever found

The embodiment of life force

In a hospital gown

Yeah I could feel my body healing

I would crank up the head

Of my hospital bed

All the way up

When they would wake me at dawn

Then I'd gaze out at the lawn

Waiting on my sad soul medicine

I was trapped and tired

She was as free as I'd ever found

The embodiment of life force

In a hospital gown

Yeah I could feel my body healing

But today I come

The doctors came in told me

Am I going home

And a nurse would come and see me

Everyday

And my folks are on their way

To see me home

But I don't want to go

No I don't want to go

Fa la la is running around

All over the grounds of the hospital

As they are loading me up

Into the cab of my daddy's truck

For our long ride home

Only a fool wouldn't be happy

To leave this cold insitution

For a warm and loving home

But I feel like I'm drying up

Deep down in my bones

Yes I don't want to go

No I don't want to go

No I don't want to go

No I don't want to go

No I don't want to go
