well first of all it would interesting to know if there is/was someoce calledOlicer James. Secondly to wash in the water may be refering to Baptism, or it could alsobe a reference to Moses whowas saved from the sea by a slave. The lyrics are based on images so many interpretations are possible.Note : going to a brother house, death lovers searching from each others are themes found in several of Fleet Foxes songs.

It could be (but that is just a supposition) that the joker and the thief are the two people who were condemed at the same that Jesus. Being oppressed Jews from romans occupants for too long they did rebel and commited violents crimes. This ought to be then a methaphore discuusion of the 2 of them before the romans come to bring the execution up. There are other possibilities of course since the imaginary language allow the listene/reader to open his/her imagination....Perhaps we should ask Bobby himself what he meant, if he really had something precise in mind...(: )
