Oliver James Lyrics

Oliver James lyrics

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
