Wash It Away by Black Lab Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 'til it's white on white
Soak it in bleach 'til the blood just washes away

[Verse 2]
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 'til the blood just washes away

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
If I can, then I will wash it away
If she can, then she will wash it away
[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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?

[Chorus]
If I can, then I will wash it away
If she can, then she will wash it away

[Bridge]
So send me an angel
Send me the ghost that I was
Yeah, 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
