St. Joseph's

We spent the night at St. Joseph's
Shaking and shivering in fever
Nurses and criminals before us
I will stay here with you…my love
We sat at Lake Junaluska
And cried over where we would wed
If it's this place or any other
It's not where I am…it's who I'm with
News came of a child
Born unto a world
Of people, demented and wild
I will be here for you…my love
What was our reason for fighting
Selfish and centered at best
I give up on trying
To understand why we were blessed
We'll spend the night at…St. Joseph's
