Doctor Says She's Gonna Come Home Tonight, by paul
A bit of a tear-jerker about a loved one who's coming home from the hospital after an illness. I wrote it in 1997 and first released it in 2004.
folk
Story behind the song
A melancholy folk song about a loved one coming home from the hospital after an illness. I wrote it in 1997 in my apartment in Los Angeles. I rarely re-listen to it because it makes me sort of sad.

DOCTOR SAYS SHE'S COMING HOME TONIGHT

If you turn from a love like her
If you turn back and don't say a word
I just say, ohhh
If you turn on a love like her
If you turn back on all that you were
I just say, ohhhh
Doctor says she's gonna come home tonight
Doctor says she's gonna be alright
And I've been waiting forty days and forty nights
Hoping you're ok and you're alright
Doctor says she's gonna come home to stay
Doctor says she's getting stronger everyday
And I've been hoping it would turn out just this way
We'll pick her up later on today
Doctor says she's gonna come home tonight
Doctor says she's gonna be alright
And I say, ohhh
Doctor says she's gonna come home to stay
Doctor says she's gonna be ok
And I say, ohhh
Doctor says she's gonna come home tonight
And she's home
