Lyrics
WASH MY SOUL (5:50)
O uncloudy day, in my minds eye
Gazing at the blue sky
Like a newborn babe
Sun lights up the bay, blazing like a firelight
See me divin' like a fish in flight
Thru the middle of a wave
(CHORUS)
Wash my soul, where the sand meets the sea
Wash my soul, let the water cover me
In your seagull feathered, sunken treasured,
Stormy weathered, deep blue mystery
Siren of the deep, rock me in the undertow
Roll me in the tide flow
'Til I'm weak in the knee
Cradle me to sleep, let that wind blow
A lullaby indigo
Set my trouble free
(CHORUS)
O ancestral shore, where all life began
No one seems to understand
We've been here before
From the water born, into the frying pan
Dyng like a fish on land
Take me home once more
(CHORUS)
La, la....
Wash me up, rinse me down
Head to toe and all around
Lift me up, right off of this ground
In your waves my sorrows drown
I need a little sea change
Show me something rich and strange....
