At Least We're Not Alone

i wrote a sad song about an extended hospital stay, where you kinda fall for a nurse in a morphine dream, and upon release find yourself estranged from your old girlfriend. not because you love the nurse, but the experience has changed you. like a raymond carver story, but i didn't write about liquor and cigarettes. it reminds of when people come back from war and find trouble connecting with their spouse.
i really like the lyrics to this one, especially the chorus -

in a drowsy hypnosis, there is a nurse with wings
in the whale next to jonah, there is a ghost who sings
at least we're not alone.

i think that's neat stuff. i also like that jonah story. god sure is crazy.
it's a very nice sunday, cold crisp clear. good winter weather. i think i have two songs in mind, and i'm almost done with two i started last week.
