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
