December 8 in 1980, 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 matter, 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
