Wash Away
Robert Sterling

I have done many things
That I truly regret
And I have done much much more
I'd prefer to forget
My years as a reckless youth
Bring me nothing but shame
Guess I was too addicted to trouble
And only I am to blame

But when I look in your eyes
All my sin seems to fade
The cancer in me is sliced apart
Your love is the blade
Because:

You wash away my anger
You wash away my fears
You wash away my pain
You wash away my tears

And it's gone
And it's gone
And it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I feel born again

I'd like to think I'm a better man now
But I'm not so sure
More like I'm too tired to raise hell
Than I've become so pure
Murderous wrath fueled by alcohol
Still nips at my weak heel
Give me an inch, I'll take a marathon
My demons at the wheel

But when I look in your eyes
This plague exits me
You give me a lust for life
You set me free

You wash away my anger
You wash away my fears
You wash away my pain
You wash away my tears

And it's gone
And it's gone
And it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I feel born again

It haunts my dreams where I'd be
Without your grace
But I know where I stand
When we embrace

I'm still a wandering man
Like a buffalo I roam
But so long I have you in my heart
I know I have a home
Sure the world's a vicious place
It's not like I'm blind
Yet the kingdom of man is but an illusion
When you're on my mind

You wash away my anger
You wash away my fears
You wash away my pain
You wash away my tears

And it's gone
And it's gone
And it's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
I feel born again
