I was home on avondale
Boys were playing basketball
When the news came in
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
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
I heard my brother say,"Oh, my God!"
I said,"What's the matte Jesse?"
He said,"I don't want to tell you this"
So he took me for a drive
Please comfort me and shelter me
I am weak with love...
