On the way to your brother's house in the valley, dear,
|
By the river bridge a cradle floating beside me.
|
In the whitest water on the banks against the stone
|
You will lift his body from the shore and bring him home
|
|
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
|
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
|
|
On the kitchen table that your grandfather did make
|
You and your delicate way will slowly clean his fate
|
And you will remember when you rehearsed the actions of
|
A innocent and anxious mother full of anxious love
|
|
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
|
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
|
|
Walk with me down the beach and through the valley floor
|
Love for the one you know more
|
Love for the one you know more
|
|
Back we go to your brother's house emptier my dear
|
The sound of ancient voices ringing soft upon your ear
|
|
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
|
Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
|
