And so your love sits down next to you,
and her body is cold and her lips are blue,
and this is our feeling that she was always warm to you,
she the one you're always singing to.

Oh, wash away, wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of the wind blowing and,
say we'll be here always and,
this is all I'm hopin' for,
when she left she didn't close the door.

And you're a fool to wait,
for your lucky break,
ah, all that talkin' right,
without your hands on life and now,
oh yea they say he's high.

But it's time to move now,
come on and,
wash away wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of not knowing,
say we'll be here always and,
this is all I'm hopin' for,
when she left she didn't close the door.

Oh, and sister you were never this before,
oh your eyes are red,
and your hands are so sore,
and you and me once washed away the pain,
but now we're so long distance in,
so many callways.

wash away, wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of the wind blowing and,
say you'll be here always and,
this is all I'm hopin' for,
but it's what I'm waiting for.

[Guitar Solo]

And on any day like today I can say I,
wanna be in Galway I,
wanna be in '97 I,
wanna wash away,
all these things crowd at my door.
And I - wanna be in the river I,
wanna be in the sea.

Wash away, wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of the wind blowing and,
say we'll be here,
wash away, wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of the wind blowing and,
say we'll be here,
wash away, wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of the wind blowing and,
say we'll be here always,
wash away, wash away,
the sound of all these sad days,
the sound of the wind blowing and,
say we'll be here always.
