Wash It Away Lyrics - Your Body Above Me - 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 

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
