Lyrics
0:12On the way to your brother's house in the valley dear
0:20By the river bridge a cradle floating beside me
0:29In the whitest water on the banks against the stone
0:37You will lift his body from the shore and bring him home
0:46Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
0:58Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
1:10On the kitchen table that your grandfather did make
1:18You and your delicate way will slowly clean his fate
1:26And you will remember when you rehearsed the actions of
1:34A innocent and anxious mother full of anxious love
1:42Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
1:54Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
2:06Walk with me down the beach and through the valley floor
2:14Love for the one you know more
2:30Love for the one you know more
2:38Back we go to your brother's house emptier my dear
2:46The sound of ancient voices ringing soft upon your ear
2:55Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
3:07Oliver James washed in the rain no longer
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
