Wash It Away - Black Lab

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 'til it’s white on white

Soak it in bleach 'til 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 'til 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 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 wash it away

If she can, then she will wash it away

So send me an angel

Send me the ghost that I was

Yeah, 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
