Brother Joel - Peter Himmelman

    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.
