Black Lab - Wash It Away Lyrics

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