Changeover
[Verse 1: Hellbent Australian male lead, big and bright, full voice from the first word] Seven in the morning and the ward goes gray She walks in as I'm walking away Five minutes standing at the nurses' station Bed four's fever and her coffee ration Hand her the chart and our fingers touch Seven at night and it's not enough She's got the sun and I've got the moon Same front door but a different room [Chorus: Hellbent Australian male lead, belted, full chest] Meet you at the changeover Five minutes, then the shift is over Every day I fall a little closer Meet you at the changeover [Verse 2: Hellbent Australian male lead, hellbent, building] Notes on the fridge and a kiss on the pane Toast on the bench for the girl on the train She leaves me soup and I leave her a rose Living together with our eyes half closed Fourteen months of a hello and a wave Saving every minute that the roster gave Asked the charge nurse for a single night She said find a swap and I'll make it right [Pre-Chorus: Hellbent Australian male lead, climbing, louder every line] Begged a mate for Friday and he took it for a beer Signed it on the roster, now the night is clear [Chorus: Hellbent Australian male lead, belted, full chest] Meet you at the changeover Five minutes, then the shift is over Every day I fall a little closer Meet you at the changeover [Bridge: Hellbent Australian male lead, pen click, the band stops dead on the click of the roster pen, then the chorus lifts and the guitars crash back] Click of the pen and the swap is done One whole night and it's ours, just one Dinner and dancing and a drive to the sea All the plans for a her and a me [Verse 3: Hellbent Australian male lead, full force, grinning] Six o'clock and she's home in a dress Me in a shirt that I ironed, no less Takeaway sitting on the kitchen chair Couch looked soft and we sat down there Eight o'clock and her head on my chest Both of us out like a ward at rest Woke up at six with the curry still sealed Best night we've had and we slept through the meal [Chorus: Hellbent Australian male lead, belted, full chest] Meet you at the changeover Five minutes, then the shift is over Every day I fall a little closer Meet you at the changeover [Outro: Hellbent Australian male lead, the guitars ring out] Changeover Fell asleep Best night [End]
