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 meAnd 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.
