weak with love lyrics

December 8 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 matter, 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
