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
An 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
La-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
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
