[Intro: 4 Bars. A very low, vibrating synth-bass sets the tone. A lonely piano strikes slow, somber chords. A violin plays a high, thin note that slowly fades away.] [Verse 1] [Vocals: Very deep, close to the mic, raspy and weary] She puts her cooling hands upon my brow And looks at me, examining me now She helps me sip some water from the cup Ah nurse, please stay a while, don't give me up [Interlude] [Saxophone Lick: A short, deep wail from the sax, followed by a dissonant piano chord] [Chorus] [Music swells - Violins play long, dramatic lines. The bass gets heavier] Night Nurse, without you where should I begin? Night Nurse, the fire burns within Night Nurse, please take away the pain Night Nurse, without your care I am so hollow Night Nurse, will I see tomorrow? Night Nurse, please take away the pain [Verse 2] [Music drops back to just bass and a rhythmic 'tick' like a heartbeat] I lie here shaking, sweating in the sheets With visions, fever, cold from head to feet Nurse tell me, will I make it out alive? Just hold me close so I can survive [Chorus] [The Saxophone plays through the vocals, answering every line] Night Nurse, without you where should I begin? [Sax: Low growl] Night Nurse, the fire burns within Night Nurse, please take away the pain [Sax: High, crying note] Night Nurse, without your care I am so hollow Night Nurse, will I see tomorrow? Night Nurse, please take away the pain [Bridge] [Everything goes quiet, except for a soft synth-pad and the piano] [Vocals: Whispering, almost begging] Night Nurse, nurse... Night Nurse, nurse... Night Nurse, nurse... Come lie down by my side... Night Nurse, nurse... [Saxophone Solo] [Saxophone Feature: The sax takes over. It starts sultry and bluesy, but becomes increasingly chaotic and intense, symbolizing the rising fever. The violins play staccato in the background.] [Chorus] [Full Intensity - The voice sounds desperate] Night Nurse, without you where should I begin? Night Nurse, the fire burns within Night Nurse, please take away the pain Night Nurse, without your care I am so hollow Night Nurse, will I see tomorrow? Night Nurse, please take away the pain [Outro] [The tempo slows down. The bass slowly fades out] Night Nurse, Night Nurse, Night Nurse... Something for the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain... [Saxophone plays a dying melody] Night Nurse, Night Nurse, Night Nurse... Something for the pain, the pain, the pain... [Vocals: Deepest note possible] The pain... Night Nurse... [End on a final, low piano key and the echo of the sax]
