December eighth in nineteen-eighty
|
I was home on Avondale
|
Boys were playin' basketball
|
When the news came in.
|
|
And I heard my brother say, "Oh my God!"
|
I said, "What's the matter, Jesse?"
|
He said, "I don't wanna tell you this"
|
And he would not meet my eyes.
|
|
Please comfort me
|
And shelter me
|
I am weak with love
|
Comfort me
|
And shelter me
|
I am weak with love
|
|
The policeman laid him in the police car
|
He was shot and bleeding
|
Then he said, "Are you John Lennon?"
|
John couldn't speak but he nodded "yeah".
|
|
And I heard my brother say, "Oh my God!"
|
I said, "What's the matter, Jesse?"
|
He said, "I don't wanna tell you this"
|
So he took me for a drive.
|
|
Please comfort me
|
And shelter me
|
For I am weak with love
|
Comfort me
|
And shelter me
|
Well, I am weak with love
|
|
Love, love, love.
