Brother Joel Lyrics

Brother joel I'm gonna whisper a prayer for your soul you were so tall there was no deceit in you at all

You'll never know what you did for me. I don't believe you could you were so buried in your mission you see you had to untie all the fools who were caught up in convention and rules oh yeah

Brother joel what in god's name are you doing down in that hole hey what a waste, I can't rid my mouth of this bitter taste

You were so good so young and they found you lying dead on the bathroom floor I heard the news on a pay phone in Chicago and the words rang harsh like a rusty bell, my legs got weak and I nearly fell down

You were gonna get married but brother you got buried you took a one way trip to the other side instead I wish I'd known you better wish there was still time to write you a letter I would have told you that you set me free but now the chance is dead Brother joel put your faith in heaven and rock n roll take a ride give us a push from the other side hey

I know that you can hear me callin... callin through the veils of time I thought that we were only starting, well I gave you a mezzuzah for your door. you gave me a chance and perhaps that's more

You were going to get married but brother you got buried you took a one way trip to the other side instead
I wish I'd known you better... wish there was still time to write you a letter. I would've told you that you set me free but now the chance is dead
