A mountain of regret / A valley miles away / A life lived in the clouds / A wasted yesterday / A hilltop made of blunders / A wish cast like a stone / A bark as loud as thunder / A dog without a bone /
Wash me clean, wash me clean / Wash away my wants and needs / Wash me clean, wash me clean / Won't you pour water on this seed' /
A shameful flood of tears on a salty whiskered cheek / A dusty photo album / A lonely mountain peak / A youth of wishful thinking / A childhood gone astray / A hilltop slowly sinking / A boy's hair turning grey /
Wash me clean...
