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.
