I feel the beauty of songs, and art in general, is that despite the intended meaning of the artist the song can take new meanig through others interpretations
It seems to me that this song is about a old, or sick dying man on his death bed. The morning being his impending death.
"Oh, Sally buffalo in the apartment just below
a bein' without a care
Oh, children from my brood they come and bring me food
Maybe open up a window for air"
I think this is talking about his children visiting him caring for him, but not providing much else for him.
I think all music is what you yourself get out of it and everyone has different feelings but from the artist point of view I think it's him saying that hes in a familiar place and sees something he really loves and hes thinking about life and what comes next and the medicine is a drug or music or his friends anything that makes him happy or keeps his mind off his worries and as he escapes he hears the beautifull people go about life and has friends or nice people bring him stuff or come visit him...
