Wash Away Lyrics - Live Stages - Vertical Horizon

An old man lying by the road 

Black is night 

He's got his finger on the trigger 

An easy target in sight 

He's got no future, no family tree 

He's got a three dollar bottle 

And he drinks 'till he can't see 

All night, all night... 

A young girl waiting on a line 

Eight a.m., she's got a six month old burden 

Willpower's withering thin 

An unwed mother beaten by her trade 

Each week her welfare reminds her 

Of mistakes she never made 

Oh no...

Chorus 

Now what has that to say about tomorrow 

What has that to show for today 

Noah thought to build an ark 

Before the heavens washed it all away 

Away... 

Photos 

A baby crying through a dream 

An afterthought 

Mother is seething for pleasure 

After the poison is bought 

His eyes are tainted, staggered is his breath 

Oh God, he's addicted 

Addicted to death 

Oh, no... 

Chorus
