Adjective Fruit - Washed Away Lyrics

A long long time ago a little boy went out into the rain
His mother warned against it but he sought adventure, he felt brave
Then it started flooding fast, he clutched on to a passing raft
And by the time the sun went down that day, he was washed away
Morning light struck his eyes, our hero found himself among the waves
He searched the whole horizon but saw no land where he could be saved
Then he saw the sun above, he felt its warmth and felt its love
Wished he could tell his mother he was safe and would be home some day

Oh yeah
I'll hold you close and hold you tight, his mother sang into the waves at night
And all the stars have been burning bright, since you were washed away
So find your star follow its light, and come home through the waves at night
I'll hold this burning lantern bright, so you can find your way
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

He sailed the seven seas and found himself in many foreign lands
But none of his adventures ever ended quite how he had planned
He once found a sunken city's shrine and almost sold it for a dime
'Till a whisper in the wind did change his mind and he backed out in time
With many riches gained, he'd turn his ship back towards whence it came
The journey had just began when he realized the fault in his whole plan
For our hero did not know the way to get back home and save the day
He could not retrace those steps that he had made when he was washed away

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll hold you close and hold you tight, his mother sang into the waves at night
And all the stars have been burning bright, since you were washed away
So find your star follow its light, and come home through the waves at night
I'll hold this burning lantern bright, so you can find your way

Woah-woah-oh-woah-oh-woah-oh

Follow the face in the stars, it'll take you back to the start
It's the only way you can be saved, he heard it sing up from the waves
He heard it sing up from the waves

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

She held him close and held him tight as they stared into the waves that night
And stars kept burning bright forever from that day
He found his star, followed its light and came home through the waves at night
She put out her burning lantern bright 'cause he was no longer washed away

Hey-ay (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
(Ah)
