Sister Morphine’s Lullaby
Here I am. Lying flat in my hospital bed. My head’s still dizzy from sister morphine. But hey… no complaints here.

Back in the day when I started taking vocal lessons it wasn’t always easy. You see, I worked a 9-to-5 office job and sometimes… I even had to spend my weekends to do some extra work. As it turned out, the only time left for my voice lessons was on a Tuesday 7 p.m. So,…
