Lyrics
Well I remember seeing you,
Seeing you at the show
And what seemed like yesterday
Turned out to be a long time ago.
Well it?s hard to believe
But that?s how it goes
One year just bleeds into five
Won?t you help us, help us, help us
Brother John?
Well the story you told me about dear John
The apostle who Jesus loved,
Sent to care for Mary and dear Brother James
In all of their broken worth.
Well it?s hard to believe
But that?s how it goes
One year just bleeds into five
Won?t you help us, help us, help us
Brother John?
Now we drink at Saint Johns
To drown out our woes
In a world where no music plays
And the man strums a tune
On the broken guitar
I think I remember his name
Well it?s hard to believe
But that?s how it goes
One year just bleeds into five
Won?t you help us, help us, help us
Brother John?
