Wash Me Clean

Lyrics

Mmm-mmm...
Mmm-mmm...

I've been walking through these dusty plains
Underneath the heavy sun
Carrying the weight of all my chains
Hoping for the day to run
But there's dust upon my coat
And a shadow in my mind
Keep on searching for a note
A peace I cannot find

Wash me in the pourin' rain
Let it fall down slow
Cleanse away the deepest pain
Where the sweet waters flow
Take me to the open sea
Let the tide pull me in
I just want to be set free
And begin again, oh begin again

Through the night I hear the whistle blow
Brings me back to what she said
"Child, you reap just what you grow
Lay your troubles on his bed"
So I surrender to the light
In the hour of my need
Stepping out into the night
Hoping that I will be freed

Wash me in the pourin' rain
Let it fall down slow
Cleanse away the deepest pain
Where the sweet waters flow
Take me to the open sea
Let the tide pull me in
I just want to be set free
And begin again, oh begin again

I want to begin...
I want to begin...
I want to begin...
Let the waters roll...
Over my soul...
Mmm-mmm...
Wash me clean...
In the pourin' rain...
