Lyrics:

December eight 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 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...
