Oliver James Lyrics
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 faith 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 Ruby 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

It's a famous remote coastal beach in Washington state.
Sad song and hauntingly beautiful. At first I thought it was just about disappointment, but it's clearly about a drowning, having peered into the lyrics.
Great band!

The Guardian said this song's about a child drowning. I guess it's make sense.

And this song does seem to be about a child drowning. When, looked at with that interpretation it's pretty sad and dark. I think he's the father trying to console the mother in the "Walk with me..." part saying, "love for the one you know more." Maybe a strange way of saying, "At least we still have each other," and she knows him more. But, they are still "emptier."

I think this song is really beautiful and I listen to it a lot. I think it's probably an analogy for something that's really open to the listener's interpretation and what perspective they take on the song. It's a really direct yet versatile, as far as the mood it can provoke is concerned.
GREAT SONG.
