Wash it in the sea |
|
Let it soak all night |
|
Wash it in the sea |
|
Let the saltwater wash it away |
|
Soak it in bleach |
|
Till it's white on white |
|
Soak it in bleach |
|
Till the blood just washes away |
|
Hang it in the wind |
|
Let it blow all night |
|
Hang it up high |
|
Let the high wind blow it away |
|
Hang it in the wind |
|
Let the sun burn bright |
|
Hang it in the wind |
|
Till the blood just washes away |
|
I have waited wasted years |
|
For the child that's come and gone today |
|
Say what about this wasted fear? |
|
How can I just turn and wash it away? |
|
If I can then I will, then I will wash it away |
|
If she can then she will wash it away |
|
If I can then I will, then I will wash it away |
|
If she can then she will, wash it away |
|
Forty years spent one by one |
|
Forty years of life just slipping away |
|
What I'd give for a firstborn son |
|
Forty years of blood just washing away |
|
I have waited wasted lives |
|
I have waited long enough I'd say |
|
Say what about this wasted child? |
|
How can I just turn and wash it away? |
|
If I can then I will, then I will wash it away |
|
If she can then she will wash it away |
|
If I can then I will, then I will wash it away |
|
If she can then she will, wash it away |
|
So send me an angel |
|
Send me the ghost that I was |
|
Send me an angel |
|
Send me the ghost that I was |
|
That I was, that I am |
|
I will wash it away |
|
She will wash it away |
|
I will wash it away |
|
If I can then I will, then I will, then I will |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
|
Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |
