Wash It Away

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 its white on white.
soak it in bleach
till the blood just washes 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
wash it away.
if she can then she will wash it away.

forty years of life
ust 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 wash it away.
if she can then she will
wash it away.

send me an angel.
send me the ghost that i was.
that i am.
i will wash it away.
she will wash it away.
