Lyrics for Wash Us Away by Ian Hunter:
| | | Artist: | Ian Hunter |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Wash Us Away | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 138 | | | | Lyrics: | On the very first decade that we got to dream in
Our fathers were angry, our mother's were
screamin'
At the clothes we were wearin' and the music we got off on
Hitler was dead,
welcome to Babylon
Carved our initials out across the sand
The heart and the arrow,
no-one understands
Then the tide rolled in and everything ran
And washed us away, washed us
away, washed us away
Up in the attic ambition was burning
Now my fingers were bleedin'
but the tables were turning
Down in the city the future was beckoning
And I hated myself on
the day of reckoning
(Oh yeah)
Carved our initials on top of the cake
The heart and the
arrow - the rattle and the snake
How was I to know that the Earth was gonna break
And wash
us away, wash us away, wash us away
Everything's temporary in this world
Ain't it a
shame when you lose someone
Here tomorrow, gone today
Wash us away, wash us away, wash us
away
There was never a fool like a young fool alone in
A world without someone he can
find a home in
And for all the wrong reasons we rescued each other
You bandaged my heart I
never would recover
(ohhhh)
No river runs true, it always takes a twist
Hearts can be
broken, arrows gonna miss
How was I to know that it was gonna come down to this
And wash us
away
And we wrote our names on the Dead Sea Scrolls
The young and the restless, the
brave and the bold
How was we to know it was gonna get outta control
And wash us away, wash
us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away,wash us away, wash us away | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
